Have a nice weekend! Here's your Friday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 2nd lowest on record (JAXA data)...
• about 420,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 960,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,530,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 1,950,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Reporter: what is Canada doing to help protect Greenland's integrity:
Future of Greenland is for the people of Greenland to decide. We are both members of NATO, and article 5 stands. We opened a consulate in Greenland.
In discussions with NATO/Denmark/Greenland on [long term] security.
Canada has increased it military presences from 3 months /year to 12 months/year.
No mention of sending troups there now.
added in french: we expect all NATO members to respect their obligations under NATO.
RE: https://mstdn.ca/@jfmezei/115903954764380552
Prime Minister Mark Carney states Canada’s position clearly:
1. The future of Greenland is a decision for Greenland and Denmark.
2. We are NATO partners with Denmark, and so our obligations under Article 5 and Article 2, stand, and we stand fully squarely behind them.
3. We respect our obligations and our responsibilities under NATO and we expect all NATO partners to do the same.
Look for the slight head nod and knowing smile on “ça suffit”.

#Arctic sea ice concentration trends in January are only confined to the outer edges of the Arctic Ocean, such as the Barents-Kara Seas, Greenland Sea, Baffin Bay, and Sea of Okhotsk.
Sea ice concentration = fraction of ice-cover. For more info: https://doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-25-0104.1
