Major Study Predicts Permanent Loss of Arctic Sea Ice Within Decade

The Arctic may lose nearly all of its summer sea ice cover by the 2030s according to a new study, a full decade earlier than previously predicted.
Even drastic cuts to greenhouse gas emissions may not be enough to save the little remaining summer Arctic sea ice.
The loss of Arctic sea ice could have devastating consequences around the globe, including more extreme weather events and increased emissions and pollution in the region as shipping lanes open.
The Arctic has reached a tipping point and entered a new climate state, moving from "seriously ill" to terminally ill according to scientists.
The new study's predictions are far more pessimistic than recent reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
