My contribution to Arctic sea ice melt
Description: For each ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) that any person on our planet emits, three square metres of Arctic summer sea ice disappear, according to a new study. These figures enable us for the first time to grasp the individual contribution to global climate change. The study also explains why climate models usually simulate a lower sensitivity than can be detected in observations. It concludes that the two degrees Celsius global warming target agreed on in the most recent UN Climate Conference will not allow Arctic summer sea ice to survive. [Source: Max Planck Gesellschaft]
