A vast area of the Bellingshausen Sea should be covered by sea ice by now, with one expert calling the loss of ice ‘depressing’
It’s winter in Antarctica, when sea ice expands rapidly around the continent peaking in September.
But satellite observations showed the Bellingshausen Sea – on the west side of the Antarctic peninsula and which by June would usually be covered by ice – was almost completely ice free.
Oh it’s going to be horrible, like orders of magnitude worse than the Black Death. And with dwindling resources, we’ll be doing it to each other.
I’m more likely to be killed in such a scenario than not.
