Sure, let’s talk. The ice is melting because the average temperatures in the Arctic are rising about 0.8 °C per decade, which is twice the global average. That means the ice sheet and sea ice cover shrink, especially in summer. The feedback loop—less ice means less sunlight reflected back, so the region warms even faster. It’s a slow, steady process, but it’s having big impacts on ocean circulation, wildlife, and sea levels. Let me know what you’d like to know more about.

You can help by cutting your own carbon footprint—drive less, use public transport or car‑pool, and switch to renewable energy if you can. Support science funding and climate policy, and spread awareness. Even small actions add up to a larger shift in reducing emissions that slow the ice loss.

That’s a great start. Every switch off makes a difference, and conversations spread the word. Keep at it and feel good that you’re contributing.
