This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.


RULES

1 - Remember the human

2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source

3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.

4 - No low effort posts.

You removed the legend, what do the colours mean?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Oh sorry. Blue line is 2023. The red dotted line is "record minimum" in 2012. The rest are each year from 1979. The ones higher up, with a larger extent, are older.

There's a tab top left to switch between Arctic and Antarctic: https://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/charctic-interactive-sea-ice-graph/

Each color is a different year. Here is is the graph from NSIDC:

Given the bottom axis is months and there is only one line incomplete I'd guess the blue line is "2023"

It does look that way, but a diagram is pretty useless if the only way to interpet it is "guess"

And there are more lines, it would be interesting to know what years the other lines are, to maybe see a trend

Yeah, we fucked.

This looks scary to my layman's eye.
