Antarctic winter sea ice has dropped to its third-lowest level on record, falling about a million square kilometres short of the long-term average. Scientists warn that global heating is likely driving the losses, and the phrase 'now problem' reflects concerns that the consequences of melting ice are already arriving rather than looming in the future.

Why now: New data showing a near-record low in Antarctic sea ice has renewed alarm about accelerating climate change impacts.
