*Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches Lows Never Before Observed*
Key take-aways:
This year there was a drastic drop in sea ice on a global scale caused 
by a combination of the now usual major melting during the northern 
hemisphere spring in the Arctic, and the significant lack of sea ice 
growth during the southern hemisphere autumn in the Antarctic.

      * Antarctic sea ice reached the lowest sea ice extents ever
        observed (on satellite record) for the months of June, July,
        August, and September of 2023.
      * September 2023 is first time that Antarctic sea ice extent is
        below 17 million km2 since the first satellite observations
        (e.g. 1979).
      * This year 2023, Antarctic sea ice has reached its maximum annual
        extent on the 7th of September, extending to 16.8 million km2,
        which is 1.9 million of km2 less compared to the 1993-2010
        average for the same date. This corresponds to a sea ice loss of
        3 times the size of France.
      * More than 6 000 km3 of Antarctic sea ice has been lost in 2023,
        compared to the long-term average (1993-2010); This is
        equivalent to a sea ice loss of 67 times the volume of Leman
        Lake near Geneva (89 km3).

Mercator Ocean International (MOi) is a non-profit organisation, in the 
process of transforming into an intergovernmental organisation, 
providing ocean science-based services of general interest focused on 
the conservation and the sustainable use of the oceans, seas and marine 
resources. At the One Ocean Summit organised by France in Brest in 
February 2022, six European states (France, Italy, Norway, Portugal, 
Spain, and the UK) showed commitment to developing European 
oceanographic excellence by transforming MOi into an intergovernmental 
body through the “Brest Declaration”.

Today‘s temperature deviation, relative to the average 25 Dec during the 
period 1979-2000. Some areas are 18°C or more warmer than normal. Where 
“normal” is a time interval already affected by global warming.

/*December 26, 2016 */
December 26, 2016: The New York Times editorial page observes:

    “State governments will serve as an important bulwark against any
    attempt by President-elect Donald Trump to roll back the progress
    the United States has made in addressing climate change. And that’s
    good news for the planet.

    “Over the last decade or so, most states have reduced their
    greenhouse gas emissions by promoting energy efficiency and
    renewable fuels. These trends should continue as clean energy costs
    continue to decline and, in some parts of the country, fall below
    the cost of dirtier fuels like coal.

    “The Brookings Institution reported this month that between 2000 and
    2014, 33 states and the District of Columbia cut carbon emissions
    while expanding their economies. That list includes red states run
    by Republican legislatures, like Alaska, Georgia, Tennessee and West
    Virginia.”...

    It’s hard to know how Mr. Trump will change climate policy, but it
    is almost certain that he won’t advance it. He told The Times last
    month that he has an “open mind” about climate change, but has also
    called it a “hoax.” The people he has chosen to lead the
    Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy and the
    Department of Interior — the three agencies with the greatest
    influence on energy policy — have either denied or expressed
    skepticism that human activity is causing global warming, something
    that virtually all scientists agree on...

    Lawmakers, environmental groups and individuals who care about
    climate change ought to fight every effort to take the country
    backward on this issue. But it will be just as important for them to
    support states that are trying to advance the cause.
