Response in English: Global warming is the gradual increase in the Earths average surface temperature, mostly caused by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. The impact of global warming is the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, which contribute to rising sea levels. This can have severe and far-reaching consequences for both the global environment and human populations. In the Arctic, rising air and ocean temperatures cause the polar ice caps to melt at an accelerated rate. This causes a feedback loop because the melting of ice decreases the reflective surface area, so more of the suns rays are absorbed by the dark ocean surface, further warming the region. As sea ice melts, it also becomes thinner making it more vulnerable to further melting. This has already resulted in the dramatic decline in sea ice extent and thickness, with the Arctic losing more than half of its summer sea ice extent since the late 1970s.On the other end of the earth, the Antarctic ice is also melting at an alarming rate. The continent is losing ice primarily because warmer ocean water is melting the floating ice shelves, from underneath, causing them to thin or disintegrate entirely. This is ultimately destabilizing the glaciers, expedite the movement of ice from the land into the ocean. Global warming and the melting polar ice caps also have far-reaching impacts. The melting of the ice caps causes sea levels to rise which can lead to more flooding and loss of coastal habitats. It also affects the global climate, disrupting weather patterns, and changing ocean currents that can lead to even more warming. Furthermore, the melting of the poles can result in the loss of habitat and food source for many animal species that rely on the ice to survive. In conclusion, global warming has a significant impact on the polar ice caps, causing them to melt at an accelerated rate, which poses a threat not only to the Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems but also to the global environment and human populations. .
