The record loss was 2022. The ice never came back. It is devastating. Instead of ice coming back, 2025 came very close to same devastating loss.

Fortunately, when climate change causes devastating food shortages I'll have the competitive advantage over climate change deniers of being orders of magnitude smarter than they are.


Almost every scenario of hell has happened over the past 4.5b years to our planet. A bunch of those were extinction events. If we manage to speed run 10s of millions of years of nature in 200k years humanity, then we are indeed very special.


Yeah, the earth has been entirely without ice before aswell but that earth was not habitable for us

Just because its happened before doesnt mean its fine


Perhaps what you're missing here is that it's ice loss, not ice levels. The rate of change is at near record levels.


> Swiss glaciers have shrunk by a quarter since 2015, study says

And what about this ice loss trend?


40% loss in volume in 25 years and it's accelerating. Don't look up I guess.


Are you aure that in those other times when it happenes it didn't end in catastrophe?
