Rapid loss of Arctic sea ice
Several environmental tipping points and self-reinforcing feedback loops are still disregarded within the frequently used climate models. Thus, existing climate models are not very representative for providing projections of the conditions after the actual environmental tipping points are triggered....

| Summary: | Several environmental tipping points and self-reinforcing feedback loops are still disregarded within the frequently used climate models. Thus, existing climate models are not very representative for providing projections of the conditions after the actual environmental tipping points are triggered. In this contribution, we discuss the presence of the Arctic sea ice loss tipping point and its influence on global warming. Our literature search and PIOMAS sea ice volume observation data based projection indicate the significant acceleration of the sea ice loss (which leads to a year around and permanent ice-free Arctic) in near future. |
