John Wheeler: Arctic sea ice has reached its smallest maximum winter coverage

FARGO — The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colo., recently announced Arctic Sea ice reached its maximum extent of the winter season on March 22. Covering 5.53 million square miles, this is the smallest maximum extent of Arctic Sea ice in the 47-year history of satellite ice measurement. The Arctic remains an extremely cold place, and it isn't as if Arctic Sea ice is about to go away. However, the shrinkage of Arctic ice co…
