The sea ice cover around Antarctica plummeted for six months last year, ending the winter with about 1.6 mn sq km less ice than the long-term average. This year, the ice levels are even lower than last year's on the same date, indicating a significant shift in the Antarctic system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It\u2019s happening again: <\/strong>\u201cWhat we\u2019re really talking about are two incredible extreme events,\u201d Dr Will Hobbs, a sea ice researcher at the University of Tasmania was quoted as saying. \u201cLast year was outrageous and it\u2019s happened again.\u201d \u201cWhat\u2019s different now is that warmer Southern Ocean temperatures are really having an impact on the sea ice,\u201d Hobbs said. \u201cWe know that the past two years have been the warmest on record for the planet, with global temperatures more than 1.5C above pre-industrial for extended periods. This global warmth is now reflected in the oceans around the Antarctic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The impact extends beyond Antarctica: <\/strong>The loss of sea ice could have a major indirect impact beyond the immediate region, according to the AAPP research. It removes a protective barrier that slows the loss of glacial ice from the continent and accelerates ocean warming as exposed dark waters absorb more heat. Such a loss of sea ice could take decades for the Antarctic ecosystem to recover from. Recent studies also suggest that low sea ice levels may have influenced weather patterns, including increased summertime rain events and dry winter days in regions like Australia.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12 subscribe-box-panel\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"title\">\n<h4 class=\"fw-lighter mb-10\">   Get <b style=\"font-weight: 700\">Enterprise<\/b> daily   <\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-10\">The roundup of news and trends that move your markets and shape corporate agendas delivered straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n<p>  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"climate\/en\/user\/NewsLetters\" type=\"button \" class=\"btn-green px-3 d-flex align-items-center\" rel=\"noopener\">Subscribe here<\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">***<br \/><strong>YOU\u2019RE READING EnterpriseAM Climate, the essential MENA publication for senior <\/strong><strong>execs who care about the world\u2019s most important industry. <\/strong>We\u2019re out Monday through Thursday by 9am in Cairo and Riyadh and 11am in the UAE.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM Climate is available without charge <\/strong>thanks to the generous support of our friends at HSBC and Infinity Power.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Were you forwarded this email? <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/user\/news-letters\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Tap or click here<\/a> to get your own copy of Enterprise Climate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Want to send us a story idea<\/strong>, request coverage, ask for a correction, or otherwise get in touch?
