Worst ever summer sea ice melt

It’s quite a tongue twister but the news that this summer is starting to look like the worse ever summer sea ice melt in the Arctic is worrying scientists and environmentalists. The extent (size) of the ice in the Arctic is a big indicator for scientists of global warming, so the fact the amount of ice this May was less than in May 2012, when it record lows, is concerning them.
