How Do Ice Caps Affect Climate at Andrew Mckeown blog

How Do Ice Caps Affect Climate. Ice is melting at the poles. Oceans and ice are absorbing the brunt of climate change. Sophie coulson and her colleagues explained in a recent paper in geophysical research letters that, as glacial ice from greenland, antarctica, and the arctic islands melts, earth’s crust beneath these land masses warps, an impact that can be measured hundreds and perhaps thousands of miles away. The arctic used to be white but now it's turning blue, and absorbing more heat in a feedback loop. When ice is exposed to heat, it melts. Most people live far from the glaciers and ice caps that hold it. And when ice on land melts and water runs into the ocean, sea level rises. The arctic affects the jet stream, causing extreme weather all over the world. From the arctic to peru, from switzerland to the equatorial glaciers of man jaya in indonesia, massive ice fields, monstrous glaciers, and sea ice are disappearing, fast. The latest report from the ipcc highlights the dramatic toll warming has taken on the world's water. But as the climate gets hotter, the ice is melting. That’s setting off a cascade.
