News comes as research finds record lows of Antarctic sea ice had seen more icebergs splintering off ice shelves

Scientists analysing the cascading impacts of record low levels of Antarctic sea ice fear a loss of critical US government satellite data will make it harder to track the
rapid changes taking place at both poles.
Researchers around the globe were told last week the US Department of Defence will stop processing and providing the data, used in studies on the state of
Arctic and Antarctic sea ice, at the end of this month.
Tracking the state of sea ice is crucial for scientists to understand how global heating is affecting the planet.
Sea ice reflects the suns energy back out to space but, as long-term losses have been recorded, more of the planets ocean is exposed to the suns energy, causing more heating.
This all sounds eerily familiar

The president and the vice president of the United States are seeking to assure the public that the coronavirus pandemic has passed its peak in the country despite continuing alarm among many health officials.
"If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any," Trump asserted.
