The Arctic sea ice melting season has started March 24, 2018 6:46 pm hank

This year’s maximum is a shade higher than last year’s, which appears to be have been the all-time record for ‘lowest maximum’. The 2018 max also came a few days after the 2017 date.

Could this mean we’ve reached some kind of turning point, a reversal in the collapse of the polar ice cap? I doubt it. But look at all those black dots, and you tell me.
