Arctic Sea Ice Data

Data, no judgment: From more than 8 million square kilometers in 1979, Arctic sea ice is down to 5.6 million square kilometers. At that rate, the Arctic will be ice-free in August in less than a century. The phenomenon probably isn’t linear though, so the actual ice-free date could be sooner or later.
