Look at this dip during the last week !
Source : ClimateReanalyser.org and NSIDC
Could it be an anomaly with satellite imaging, a random statistical blip, or is something huge just about to start ?

As someone who doesn't have a background in climate science, I think it's a really bad idea to look at this and start panicking without context. Just saying

Sure, there is more than plenty other reasons to panic ๐Ÿ˜
Like some projections of a Blue Ocean Event for 2027...
Or the recent observation of the acceleration of global warning ๐Ÿฅณ
But besides panicking, I think a lot of people are really not worried enough...

Man, you're gonna look daft in a few weeks when the ice shelf falls off and the wave drowns half the coastal population centres...

Yes. Climate change is real. Not, uh, not what I'm saying, but thanks for clarifying.

Hopefully. But there are parts of the climate that are delicately balanced and may suddenly cut loose, like potential Gulf stream collapse.
