July Arctic sea ice area has been stable for 17 years. Nothing is melting anymore.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Snow And Ice Data center (NSIDC) analysis of August 4, 2024 shows that the Arctic sea ice extent in July 2024 has been stable for 17 years, without any downward trend: there is no additional melting even in early summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recall that leading experts say trend statements can be made with 17 years of data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the ice masses on Greenland show an unusual summer growth of more than 2 billion tons (2 Gt) at the end of July 2024 in the middle of the melting season, see here: polarportal.dk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
