Agreed on all that, but you should look at your first link, as it makes my point. The BOE is literally an Arctic event. The only mention of Antarctica is the ice sheet collapses (there and Greenland) which will be long after the first BOE. Fun fact, when the Arctic loses enough cooling power from lack of ice, Greenland will take over as the main driver of the weather in the northern hemisphere, and it being much offset from the rotational axis should provide very interesting weather side effects. So much for stability.
I’m all for learning new things. I don’t think the usage here of BOE is correct. Number one, how does one measure extent on the Antarctica ice coverage? I realize they do measure the ice amount and it’s low, but because it’s not in an enclosed area it’s a bit different, as is the water heating as the ice disappears. More important in that case is how the ice in the sea prevents ice loss from the land (as in with Thwaites) and how that will impact sea level rise, much like Greenland’s losses.
Also, none of the charts show an extent area coverage of the Antarctic, so I don’t think it’s a thing except in trying to tie in with the Arctic BOE and how they are both intertwined and going to affect the overall global condition.

Which is why a double BOE is both poles.
