2017 Arctic Report Card

 

Now in it’s twelfth year, the 2017 Arctic Report Card was released December 12, 2017 at the annual American Geophysical Union fall meeting in New Orleans. The NOAA-sponsored peer-reviewed report brings together the work of 85 scientists from 12 nations. The report shows the warming trend that’s transforming the Arctic region is persisting. The Arctic shows no sign of returning to reliably frozen region of recent past decades, say scientists.
