Polar scientists call for urgent action in view of rapid Arctic and Antarctic change

Polar scientists call for urgent action in view of rapid Arctic and Antarctic change. Sea ice is reducing globally at an unprecedented rate, with serious implications for not only Earth’s polar environments and inhabitants but also global weather and climate.

In particular, Antarctic sea ice has declined since 2016 at a rate not observed since the beginning of satellite records in the 1970s - a phenomenon that is concerning the scientific community and one that is currently not well understood.
