Despite a heatwave-heavy year that climate change experts have chalked down to climate change, scientists have found something many of us might not have expected in the Arctic.

There’s been a “dramatic” slowdown in the melting of Arctic sea ice over the past 20 years, the decline of which is a major concern for climate scientists.

The research shows that there’s been a “minimal” increase in ice melting since about 2005, meaning it’s melting at a much slower rate than before this period (between 1979 and now, the amount of Arctic sea ice available in September, when it’s at its lowest, has halved).

What’s more, the paper says this trend “could plausibly persist another five to 10 years.”

But we know that CO2 emissions have continued to rise , that the earth is getting unsustain
