THE POLAR ICECAP AND GLOBAL WARMING.pptx
Polar ice caps are large dome-shaped sheets of ice found near the North and South Poles that form due to the low temperatures in these high-latitude regions. Global warming is causing the polar ice caps to melt as increasing greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide, trap more heat in the atmosphere. This is happening at an alarming rate, with the Arctic sea ice declining by almost 13% each decade and the oldest and thickest Arctic ice declining 95% over the past 30 years. The melting ice caps will have widespread impacts such as rising sea levels, more severe weather events, disruption of global food systems, and threats to wildlife and indigenous communities.
