Why is the Arctic warming so much faster? New
The Arctic is warming at a faster rate than the rest of the planet due to a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification. This occurs because as the polar regions warm, ice and snow melt, exposing darker land and water surfaces that absorb more solar radiation, causing even more warming. Additionally, the loss of sea ice in the Arctic can also cause more warming by altering ocean currents and weather patterns. Greenhouse gases are the main driver of this warming, with the majority of the warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions from human activities.
