Arctic climate change

In the Arctic, temperatures are rising twice as fast as the global average, leading to thawing permafrost and melting of sea ice, ice caps and glaciers.

Flato, of the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis - CCCma); IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, 2007, Chapter 15, Polar Regions; IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, 2014, Chapter 28, Polar Regions.
