Scientists Forecast Ice-Free Arctic Within Three Years
Arctic Ice Could Melt Completely by Summer 2027, Scientists Warn
Scientists predict the Arctic could lose all its sea ice as early as the summer of 2027, according to a report by the Daily Mail. While this won’t cause a significant rise in sea levels, it could lead to major climate and weather changes worldwide.
A recent study explored 300 possible scenarios, with 9 predicting an ice-free Arctic within three years. Scientists believe that even reducing greenhouse gas emissions won’t stop this process. The melting is expected to impact global weather patterns, bringing extreme cold to Italy and wildfires to Scandinavia.
Dr. Celine Heuse, one of the study’s authors, explained that once the Arctic is ice-free, the ocean will absorb more heat, making it harder for ice to reform. This co...
