sea ice loss (Q1014)

Jump to search
Accelerated warming is rapidly reducing Arctic sea ice, increasing heat absorption by the dark ocean surface and further amplifying global warming. This threatens species adapted to sea ice, such as polar bears, walruses, and seals, while also exacerbating climate change by enhancing the ocean’s uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
- loss of sea ice
- decline of sea ice
- declining sea ice
- sea ice decline
- ice sheet mass loss
- reduced sea ice protection
- decrease in seasonal sea ice extent
- changes in sea ice
