Copernicus Climate Change Service said last month was the third hottest in February, with planet-heating greenhouse gas emissions stoking global temperatures. That helped push combined Antarctic and Arctic sea ice cover -- ocean water that freezes and floats on the surface -- to a record minimum extent of 16.04 million square kilometers on February 7, Copernicus said.
