This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

I had hoped this article would answer the very question it poses in the very last paragraph:

Finally, there is an urgent need to gain a better understanding of the impacts of an ice-free Arctic and the processes that could lead to an early ice-free Arctic . . . the impacts of occasional daily ice-free conditions versus frequent monthly ice-free conditions versus ice-free conditions that occur for several months a year is needed to assess the true impact of what the transition of the Arctic sea ice cover into its new seasonal sea ice regime means in a warming world.

I guess we'll find out soon enough. I expect further disruption of the jetstream so more impact on harvests.
