This year might be an anomaly, but if we don’t act now, researchers outline a catastrophic outcome for our planet.
John, climate scientists are sounding the alarm after a sudden and drastic shift in sea ice coverage surrounding Antarctica.
It’s winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and in this span of months where researchers typically see the most sea ice growth, they observed nearly a million square miles less ice coverage than the expected average.
This year might be an anomaly, but if we don’t act now, researchers warn that sea ice coverage will continue to shrink — a catastrophic scenario for our planet.
A lack of sea ice doesn’t just mean higher ocean levels. It means entire coastal communities underwater. It means a completely imbalanced aquatic food chain. It means our planet will eventually get too hot to regulate its own internal cooling system — and we’ll be experiencing summers even hotter than this past one.
John, we already know the actions we need to take to avoid this worse-than-worst case scenario. We need to slash our carbon emissions, widely implement renewable energy systems across the globe, and keep climate deniers like the ones we saw on the RNC’s debate stage out of our nation’s halls of power.
Thanks to your help in 2022, SEEC PAC was able to re-elect over 95% of our pro-environment members to the U.S. House of Representatives — defying the odds on a night where Democrats lost seats. Now we are counting on you to help our SEEC members pass climate, clean energy and environmental justice policies in the 118th Congress while we continue fighting for a sustainable future.
