[edit]This is an elegant graph, but it would be much more useful if it showed a whole seasonal cycle (not half of one) or multiple decades. It sort of looks as if this is an interannual change if you don't enlarge the thumb, so I've taken it out; if a better version gets made, feel free to put it back in.

A version of the WG1 graph 4.7a (page 332, page 16 of the PDF) would be great, and long-term version of the animation in the article would also be good. HLHJ (talk) 17:54, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
May add public domain NASA images from [[1]], if no objections. HLHJ (talk) 11:23, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- Sounds like a good idea. There are also related articles which explain the situation. prokaryotes (talk) 12:01, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- Done. The animation still shows only half of the seasonal cycle; does anyone know of one that shows the full cycle? HLHJ (talk) 16:17, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Out of date
[edit]Obviously this article is very seriously out of date, but I cannot edit the graphs. Can the graph creators please update them to 2019?Ordinary Person (talk) 03:38, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
Edits to Reflect IPCC AR6
[edit]Hi, I am a student at Brown University taking part to a class aiming to update Wikipedia articles based on the IPCC AR6. I recommend adding a paragraph at the end of the article Recent trends and climate change based on the assessed results from the IPCC AR6 report. The suggestion I make is the following:
- "The IPCC AR6 report confirms the observed increasing trend in the mean Antarctic sea ice area over the period from 1979 to 2014 but assesses that there was a decline after 2014, with the least extent reached in 2017, and a following growth.[1] The report then concludes that there is “high confidence” that there is no significant trend in the satellite observed Antarctic sea ice area from 1979 to 2020 in both winter and summer."
