Hi Gero.

I think that these numbers need to be changed to 2021...

NSIDC Total AREA as at 02-Jan-2021 (5 day trailing average) 11,070,767 KM2         
         
Sea ice area gain on this day 17 k, 32 k less than the 2010's average gain of 49 k         
         
- 2020 2021 area is at position #2 in the satellite record.         
- 2020 2021 ...         
         
NSIDC Sea ice EXTENT gain on this day 26 k, 24 k less than the 2010's average gain of 50k         
         
- 2020 2021 EXTENT is at position #4 in the satellite record.         
- 2020 2021 ...   

P.S. People that do nothing, they do not make mistakes. Thank you for all the work that you do!
And thanks to everyone that participates! We have the best internet Arctic sea ice forum here!

Happy new year!

P.S. Today 2020 is at just 24.2K km² of becoming the lowest on record. Will 2020 be the lowest on record again?

Consequences / Re: GW Migration / Climate Refugees

« on: December 05, 2020, 04:01:43 PM »

Migration on Central America.

After the hurricanes that hit Central America, a problem with GW migration is expected.

Weeks after Hurricanes Eta and Iota struck Central America in quick succession, nearly 100,000 Hondurans are living in shelters, many of which have become coronavirus hotspots. The country’s economy has been paralyzed.

It is an unprecedented crisis, Honduran President, Juan Orlando Hernández said in an interview with The Washington Post on Friday. Hernández warned that in the absence of a coordinated international response, migration from Honduras to the United States could surge.

“Imagine someone who lost everything, his house, his source of income, who feels hopeless and believes that there’s nothing left for him,” Hernández said. “And then he has a relative (in the United States) who says: ‘Come here.’ ”

...

Hernández and several other senior Honduran officials visited Washington this week to lobby for a humanitarian assistance package from multilateral organizations such as the World Bank and from the U.S. government. He stressed the link between the hurricanes and climate change, suggesting that wealthier countries that emit more greenhouse gases have a debt to pay in the recovery effort.

Consequences / Re: Hurricane Season 2020

« on: December 05, 2020, 02:04:17 AM »

A look back at the horrific 2020 Atlantic hurricane season
Record after record fell as the 2020 season's storms brought fatalities, economic losses, and paralyzing damages throughout Central America and widespread parts of the Gulf of Mexico.

The 2020 season was notable not only for its record number of named storms (after breaking into the Greek alphabet by the ridiculously early date of September 18), but also for its record number of rapidly intensifying storms (10); and record number of landfalling U.S. named storms (12). Let’s not forget the record-breaking November activity – two catastrophic hurricanes hit Central America in November, including Hurricane Iota, the latest category 5 storm ever recorded in the Atlantic. At least seven hurricanes from 2020 will be worthy of having their names retired: Iota, Eta, Zeta, Delta, Sally, Laura, and Isaias – although there is still no official mechanism for retiring storm names from the Greek alphabet. The record for most names retired in one season was set in 2005, when five hurricanes had their names retired.
