Artic sea ice melts in summer and reforms in winter, but precise satellite imagery taken regularly since 1979 had documented how the cycle has been shrinking significantly.The year's minimum was reached on September 15, at 3.74 million square kilometers (1.44 million square miles), according to scientists at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Témpanos de hielo flotaban en las aguas del Pasaje del Noroeste, en el Ártico de Canadá. El deshielo allí es uno de las evidencias de la afectación del cambio climático.

Washington. Estados Unidos regresó oficialmente el viernes al Acuerdo de París sobre el clima y el gobierno del presidente Joe Biden prometió hacer de la batalla ambiental una prioridad máxima.

Un mes después de que Biden asumiera el cargo, Estados Unidos -primera economía del mundo y segundo mayor emisor de carbono- volvió a ser parte del pacto global del 2015 para enfrentar el peligroso aumento de las temperaturas del planeta.
