As the Northern Hemisphere swelters under a record-breaking summer heat wave, much further south, in the depths of winter, another terrifying climate record is being broken. Antarctic sea ice has fallen to unprecedented lows for this time of year.

Argentina-size must be the stupidest measure ever invented. No one even known how really huge Argentina is because the visual map everyone has on their mind is the Mercator projection. Americans would use anything before metric.

Isnt "one Texas" one of the standard nonsense units used in the United states? Why aren't they using that? Or can they only use it when it's 1, 2, 5 or 12 texases and otherwise it's Argentina's?
5In all seriousness, there was a Texas-sized-chunk-of-ice event in 2016.

I know how big it its, pretty big let me tell ya.

Why is the headline written like that?
"Scientists are scrambling to figure out why", we know why it's missing, it's not a mystery.
16Anyone see The Day After Tomorrow?
3I bet it melted
3Is that the ice chunk that they took to combat climate change in the Simpsons?
3I thought that happened in futurama

Somebody get then a gopro
3I wonder if that's the same piece as the Western Australia-sized piece reported missing here in Oz :)
3My first thought was that Argentina took the piece of Antarctica they claimed.
2Jewish space lasers been busy again, eh?
