Influence of Climate Change on the Changing Arctic and Sub-Arctic ConditionsThe current warming trends in the Arctic may shove the Arctic system into a seasonally ice free state not seen for more than one million years. The melting is accelerating, and researchers were unable to identify natural processes that might slow the deicing of the Arctic. Such substantial additional melting of Arctic and Antarctic glaciers and ice sheets would raise the sea level worldwide, flooding the coastal areas where many of the world's
