dramatic changes are underway in Antarctica which suggest Earth's climate
system is unravelling. </P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Here in the planet's far
south, sea ice surrounding the frozen continent has shrunk so rapidly that
there is no precedent in nearly half a century of measurements. As ocean
and air temperatures around the Antarctic rise, the region may be entering
an entirely new state – with profound consequences for the rest of the
world.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">You're reading the Imagine
newsletter – a weekly synthesis of academic insight on solutions to
climate change, brought to you by The Conversation. I'm Jack Marley,
energy and environment editor. This week, we're focusing on Antarctica:
Earth's refrigerator in meltdown. </P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"Something has <A

href="https://theconversationuk.cmail20.com/t/r-l-ttuijrtl-nljldnkrt-y/"><STRONG>fundamentally
changed Antarctic sea ice</STRONG></A> this year," say Edward
Doddridge and Ariaan Purich, a physical oceanographer at the University of
Tasmania and a lecturer in climate variability and change at Monash
University.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"For many years, while the
Arctic lost sea ice, the Antarctic did not. Then, in the spring of 2016,
Antarctic sea-ice coverage dropped dramatically. Over two years, the
Antarctic lost as much sea ice as the Arctic had lost in three decades.
Since then, Antarctic sea ice has been below average almost
constantly."</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">A particularly strong El
Niño – the warm phase of a natural fluctuation in Earth's climate – has
amplified the background rate of global warming and shattered records
worldwide in 2023, from extreme heat to deadly storms. </P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Antarctica is no
exception. Antarctic sea ice reached its lowest recorded extent on
February 19: 1.77 million square kilometres, 36% below the 1977-2022
average for the summer minimum. </P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Doddridge compares the <A
style="COLOR: #202020; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; transition: opacity 0.1s ease-in"
href="https://theconversationuk.cmail20.com/t/r-l-ttuijrtl-nljldnkrt-j/"><STRONG>rhythmic
contraction and expansion</STRONG></A> of this sea ice to a
heartbeat. The last two summers in Antarctica have seen it retreat further
than ever before – a skip in the beat.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"And just as a change in
our heartbeat affects our whole body, a change to sea ice around
Antarctica affects the whole world," he says.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">The continent has been
enduring a long and dark winter in recent months. But something is wrong
say Doddridge and Purich:</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"Ever since we’ve had
satellites to measure it, the surface of the ocean has reliably frozen
into sea ice at about the same pace every winter, even following low sea
ice summers. Except for this year."</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">At a time when the area of
floating sea ice around the continent should be rapidly expanding, the
refreeze has proceeded in slow-motion according to Ella Gilbert and
Caroline Holmes, polar climate scientists at the British Antarctic
Survey.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"There is now an area of
open ocean <A
style="COLOR: #202020; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; transition: opacity 0.1s ease-in"
href="https://theconversationuk.cmail20.com/t/r-l-ttuijrtl-nljldnkrt-t/"><STRONG>bigger
than Greenland</STRONG></A>. If the 'missing' sea ice were a country, it’d
be the tenth largest in the world," they say.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><STRONG>'The new
abnormal'</STRONG></P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">If Antarctic sea extent
has fluctuated in the past, why is its behaviour this year so worrying?
Because, according to Doddridge and Purich, the current low sea-ice period
could represent a new state for Antarctica. One in which warmer water
temperatures prevent sea-ice coverage from returning to its previous
state.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">How did they come to this
conclusion? By comparing ocean temperature measurements from 100 metres to
200 metres below the surface with sea ice measurements, the pair found
that strong subsurface warming began in 2015 and explained substantial sea
ice loss in certain regions the following year. </P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"Since then, the warm
subsurface ocean seems to be maintaining the low sea-ice coverage," the
pair say.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"Together, this evidence
suggests the overall way of how Antarctic ice behaves in the
atmosphere-ocean-sea ice system has changed. Our results suggest that even
though the record-breaking low sea ice we’ve seen this year is shocking,
it is likely to be the new abnormal."</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Doddridge and Purich think
they have uncovered preliminary evidence for the inevitable decline of
Antarctic sea ice which climate models have long predicted. Craig Stevens,
a professor in ocean physics at the University of Auckland, says the
consequences will be felt far beyond the poles:</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"These floating expanses
of frozen seawater are <A
style="COLOR: #202020; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; transition: opacity 0.1s ease-in"
href="https://theconversationuk.cmail20.com/t/r-l-ttuijrtl-nljldnkrt-i/"><STRONG>central
to how our world works</STRONG></A>. They regulate how much light our
planet reflects, help ventilate the oceans, and host important ecosystems
in the form of algal meadows on their underside."</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Stevens explains that
polar sea ice also connects the atmosphere with the ocean surface and
deeper waters. Less sea ice means less cold, oxygenated seawater sinking
to the abyss, where it drives deep water currents which redistribute heat
throughout the global ocean.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">This great ocean conveyor
has been a significant brake on global heating so far. Estimates suggest
more than <A

href="https://theconversationuk.cmail20.com/t/r-l-ttuijrtl-nljldnkrt-d/">90%
of the excess heat</A> caused by burning fossil fuels and chopping
down forests (among other activities which emit greenhouse gases like CO₂)
has been absorbed by the ocean.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"The scale of the oceanic
contribution to storing heat means any small change to how this has
operated over the past millennia may have very large impacts," Stevens
adds.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"It is impossible to
overstate the urgency with which we need to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions."</P>
