The window has closed to prevent the #melting of summer #ArcticSea #ice due to human-caused #ClimateChange, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications. The research indicates that even under a scenario where #CarbonEmissions are sharply curtailed, the Arctic will be “practically” ice-free in September by the middle of the 21st century. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-38511-8 #ClimateCrisis #ice #flooding #GreenhouseGas #emissions

The #alga #Melosiraarctica, which grows under #ArcticSea ice, contains ten times as many #microplastic particles as the surrounding #seawater. This concentration at the base of the #foodweb poses a threat to creatures that feed on the algae at the sea surface. Clumps of #deadalgae also transport the #plastic with its #pollutants particularly quickly into the #dee sea & explains high #microplastic #concentrations in the #sediment there. https://phys.org/news/2023-04-arctic-ice-algae-heavily-contaminated.html
