    Today, the National Snow and Ice Data Center, in conjunction with NASA, announced today that Arctic sea ice has reached a record low since the previous record-breaking low in 2007. The extent of Arctic sea ice extent fell to 4.10 million square kilometers on August 26, 2012. That's particularly disturbing because Arcitc sea ice minima usually happen in late September, meaning that if the usual trends hold up, there's still more melting to go.

    1. By itself it's just a number, and occasionally records are going to get set. But in the context of what's happened in the last several years and throughout the satellite record, it's an indication that the Arctic sea ice cover is fundamentally changing.

    2. The Arctic used to be dominated by multiyear ice, or ice that stayed around for several years.
