General overview of polar warming issues
Are the Arctic and Antarctic really warming now? This review was performed in order to answer this question. In the recent, the strongest warming occurred in the Arctic and Antarctic Peninsula under the global warming. Warming in the Arctic is more than twice the global average, and sea ice has rapi...
