Meanwhile, economies are being trashed.

I see your point.

From where I'm sitting everything is getting trashed 🤷‍♂️

We see it too.  Will be "interesting" to watch the Democrats get eaten alive by repercusions from the wave(s) of Huns that they have personally invited into parts of the Country ... and have attempted to outdo each other in providing freebees.  Locals aren't stupid.  They can see who's getting "the Goodies". and who's not.  The Treasury is empty.  And there is not enough to satisfy the mobs.

JAXA sea ice extent is at 11.56 M km², a daily loss of 0.04 M km². This loss rate is comparable to the loss rates of the 2010s (0.06 M km²), 2000s (0.05 M km²), the 1990s (0.03 M km²) and the 1980s (0.04 M km²).
2024 is at # 12 (# 1 = lowest) in the list.
2024 is 0.16 M km² above the 2010s average.

JAXA sea ice extent is at 11.53 M km², a daily loss of 0.03 M km². This loss rate is lower than the loss rates of the 2010s, 2000s, the 1990s and the 1980s (each at 0.04 M km²).
2024 is at # 12 (# 1 = lowest) in the list.
2024 is 0.17 M km² above the 2010s average.

I like the look of this graph better ..... no obvious boiling.

For the past 32 months two thirds of the month end sea ice extents have been above the 2010's average

 

The September 15th. sea ice extent (red) is 287K LESS THAN the 2010 mean sea ice extent (yellow)
Have we reached the September minimum? Has it started to turn?

This situation has been ignored for a long time. Think of all the trivial nonsense the US government pursues instead of checking our rivals. Who needs icebreakers anyway when there won’t be any ice soon?

To be fair to the .gov, the question isn't "is our icebreaker fleet bigger that the other guys" it is "is our icebreaker fleet big enough for us?" The US is blessed with an abundance of ports which are ice-free year round, even more with limited approaches that ice over regularly, and we don't have anything like the NW passage to try to keep clear. 

The icebreaker fleets of Canada and Russia, for example, SHOULD both dwarf ours.
