Arctic Warming Faster Than Ever, NOAA Report Warns
The Arctic just had its hottest year since 1900, with temperatures from October 2024 to September 2025 shattering records, according to a NOAA report released this week. Autumn 2024 and winter 2025 were the hottest and second-hottest seasons ever recorded, signaling a climate crisis on fast-forward. 🌍🔥
Ice Melts, Rivers Rust, Species Migrate
Rising temperatures are causing "atlantification"—warmer Atlantic waters invading the Arctic—and thawing permafrost is turning rivers orange with rusting metals. Boreal species like beavers are moving north, disrupting ecosystems. ❄️→🌲
Sea Ice Hits Historic Low
Winter sea ice in March 2025 reached its lowest maximum extent in 47 years of satellite tracking. Glaciers in Greenland and Alaska are vanishing, raising global sea levels and threatening coastal communities with floods and landslides. 🏔️💧
A Decade of Heat
The past 10 years were the Arctic’s warmest on record, with temperatures rising twice as fast as the global average since 2006. Record rainfall and snow this year added to the chaos, creating a “new normal” no one wanted. 📈🌨️
