   NASA Realtime has updated its sat estimate of seaice areas at the   
   poles.   
      
   It finds for Sept 2020 the Arctic had an average seaice extent of 3.92   
   mn km2 for the month -- the 2nd lowest avg since the polar sat record   
   began in 1979.   
      
   Down in the Antarctic seaice blew out to 18.77 mn km2 extent as   
   several key areas continued to hemorrhage white stuff.   
      
   Total extent for both poles was 22.69 mn km2 ranking 3rd on the record   
   after El Nino years Sept 2016 and Sept 2019.   
      
   The top10 extents for each region now look like:

   So we are in agreement that 100% of the atmospheric CO2 increase is   
   human-caused? That's also demonstrated by the isotopic composition of   
   this increase, and by the measured reduction in oxygen content. CO2   
   created by burning removes one O2 molecule for each CO2 created.
