Question

How will the climate of the polar regions be in the future years?​

Answer 1

Answer:

More heat – much less ice. The atmosphere is warming as a result of increasing greenhouse gas emissions and the greenhouse effect. Since 1979, the ice cover on the Arctic Ocean has lost more than 30 per cent of its area. Furthermore, the sea ice today is younger and thus thinner, more fragile, and more mobile.

Answer 2

Climate change is already altering Arctic habitats. The region has warmed by nearly 10 degrees Fahrenheit since 1900, and continues to warm two to three times faster than the average for the rest of the world. Summer ice cover is shrinking, permafrost is melting and coastlines have been exposed to erosion.
