) (8) Figure 1 – Change in 1979-2018 September Arctic sea ice extent (9) 1 - The IPCC AR5 report (9) defines ’nearly ice free’ conditions in summer as having a sea ice extent of less than 1 million square km in September for at least 5 consecutive years. How likely is such a threshold to be crossed

- making it almost impossible in a climate that had not been warmed by greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change increased the chances of the prolonged heat by a factor of at least 600. This is among the strongest results of any attribution study conducted to date. The scientists noted that even

the continued rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations has been absorbed in the ocean and has not been manifest as a rise in surface temperature. Changes in the exchange of heat between the upper and deep ocean appear to have caused at least part of the pause in surface warming, and observations

. The roof of a leisure centre in Helensburgh was torn off by the strong winds. Huge waves made conditions along the coast extremely dangerous. In Scotland, one fatality was reported in Ayrshire as a result of a falling tree. There was also a fatality reported from the storm in County Donegal, Republic
