And what happens in the Arctic trickles down to all of us. "If the sea ice disappears, the Arctic will warm faster and the planet will warm faster," Lehner said. Scientists say to slow the melting ...

University of Colorado Boulder As global temperatures rise due to increasing greenhouse gas emissions, Arctic sea ice has been disappearing at an unprecedented rate of over 12 % per decade.

Those temperatures have a particularly damaging effect in the Arctic. Sea ice covers more than 14 million square kilometers (5.6 million square miles) at its maximum point each year. The ice sheet ...
