Don't be mad but we've already lost more ice extent than the size of France in just 37 days of this Melt Season. 5.5% of the Winter Maximum already gone.
Max was record low, as was last year; a strong indicator of warming. Last such back-to-back record was 2004-06.
Your 'moment of doom' for Apr. 13, 2026 ~ The long goodbye.
"Gray whales are beginning to break their long-established migration patterns, venturing into risky new territory like San Francisco Bay as climate change disrupts their Arctic food supply."

Oh look, it's that awkward part of collapse where homo colossus still actually thinks that the era of cheap energy can last ad infinitum.

Arctic sea ice this week at 21.2 k km³. This week saw daily sea ice volume at 21.2 & its 2-year average at 13.0. This was also an All-Time Low for the latter. The annual average is approaching 12,600 km³. ⚠️ 13% loss/decade, or 2000 km³ from the COP21 (Paris) base of 15,300 km³

Congratulations! As a topic, it feels very old, and when I say old I mean centuries old, perhaps ridden with reflexive taking of victimhood positions, irrationality like why "men force women" to do the birthing bit, when it "should be 50-50" and so on and so forth.
Systemic loss of holistic view?
Your 'doom quote' for today:
"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

Oh look, the Philippines has declared a state of national emergency over the US-Israeli war on Iran, citing the “imminent danger” posed to the country’s energy supply.

Normally ocean surfaces loose energy via the wind evaporation feedback - latent heat loss occurs if winds evaporate water at the surface and this process takes its energy from the oceans which cool down. So latent heat loss is clear cooling a ocean. Or if weak winds persist, much less cooling happens and the oceans can heat up faster. Now I read for the first time that besides increasing shortwave due to reduced cloud cover the oceans surface gained heat by "downward latent heat" - dumbfounded me... It could mean that if you have no winds or very weak winds the relative humidity near the surface oceans becomes 100% and water vapor starts to condense at the surface oceans giving heat back. Would be a interesting new feedback for marine heatwaves - quiescence oceans... Have to check if I understood this correctly. Would be another surprise of yet another not foreseen feedback. Here what they write: NTA - North tropical Atlantic - its this monster heatwave in the pic, one of the most exceptional events the last years. But we had now many in various ocean regions. NTA SSTA was already exceptionally high by September 2023 (Figs. 3b and 4a), primarily driven by enhanced shortwave radiation and downward latent heat flux (Carton et al. 2025; Guinaldo et al. 2025; Minobe et al. 2025; England et al. 2025). "Extreme Marine Heat Waves in the Tropical Atlantic during Boreal Early Spring 2024: Major Role of Shortwave Radiation and Mixed Layer Depth"; https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/clim/39/7/JCLI-D-25-0383.1.xml
Found a new mechanism heating up marine heatwaves
Not sure if have correctly understood it have to read the citations - fascinating
Extreme low wind speeds supersaturate the ocean atmosphere interface with water vapor inducing condensation at the sea surface warming it thereby

Your bonus 'doom quote' for today:
"The 'runaway' climate threat now is the danger that today’s accelerated global warming will push Earth past a 'point of no return,' with irreversible consequences for today’s young people and their descendants."

2025: The Ice we Lost
It's been 6 years and we lost about a teraton each year, bringing the cumulative total loss to just over 6K. Last year lost almost as much ice as 2023 did, impressive as 2023 was el-niño and 2025 a la nina year.
December satellite data added to the sheet:
Antarctica lost *0 cm* thickness in 2025. Greenland's lost 6 cm on average.
Source is GRACE-FO via NASA, 2025 status with all 12 months in.

I wrote about this Leftist phenomenon, and the history of Iran's oil politics, because this illegal conflict is going to be much longer than the last and we need to know the history to know where criticism is due. (Clue: Not at each other.)
