When reflective ice gives way to dark ocean, the sun's energy, instead of bouncing back into space, is absorbed by the water, warming it and fueling further ice melt and global warming.

This process accelerates global warming, creating a self-reinforcing cycle that leads to even more melting ... such as polar bears and seals. These animals rely on stable ice conditions for ...

Scientists monitor polar bears because, like you said, the Arctic ice is declining – and it’s happening fast. The ice is melting because of global warming. When humans burn fossil fuels like ...
