<b>Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches Lows Never Before Observed</b><br>
Key take-aways:<br>
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.<br>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
<li>September 2023 is first time that Antarctic sea ice extent
is below 17 million km2 since the first satellite observations
(e.g. 1979).</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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).</li>
</ul>

<p>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”.<br>

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.<br>

<b>"Americas Disaster Recovery System Is a Disaster"</b><br>
By Samantha Montano<br>
Dr. Montano is an assistant professor of emergency management at the
Massachusetts Maritime Academy and the author of “Disasterology:
Dispatches From the Frontlines of the Climate Crisis.”<br>

</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"> </font> December 26, 2016: The New York Times
editorial page observes:<br>
<blockquote>“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.<br>
<br>
“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.<br>
<br>
“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.”...<br>
<br>
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...<br>
<br>
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.<br>
