translated from Spanish: Alarming! Alaska has run out of Sea Ice

International.- A statement was reported with an analysis of polar ice by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Alaska has run out of ice.
Rick Thoman of the Alaska Climate Policy and Assessment Center said that “Alaska’s waters are ice-free” and that although the ice season is advanced in 2017, it is “clear ed before any other year, in 2017.”
In this regard, the researcher at the National Snow and Ice Data Center, Walt Walt Meier, considered 2019 to be an ‘extreme’ year.

It was in June that the board director at the National Academies of Sciences, Jeremy Mathis, warned that Arctic sea ice was at historic lows, although it is expected that by autumn, when temperatures drop, ice will re-form.

“Air temperatures are now rising to more than double the global average temperature rate, a phenomenon known as ‘Arctic amplification’,” explained scientist Zack Labe.

The Arctic keeps its temperature cool because the white layer of ice reflects the sun’s rays, but because it has no ice, the ocean heats up.
