Living Green - Episode 109 - Arctic Ice Melting

The Arctic ice is melting faster than predicted, with a rapid loss of older, thicker ice leading to younger, thinner ice cover. This change has significant implications for the Arctic's atmosphere, oceans, and species. The WWF warns that the climate may be nearing an irreversible tipping point and calls for world leaders to unite in forming a global climate agreement before it's too late.

What is the primary concern regarding the Arctic ice as mentioned in the video?

• The ice is becoming older and thicker.

• The ice is melting slower than expected.

• The ice is melting faster than predicted.

• The ice is unaffected by climate change.

What is the significance of the loss of older, thicker ice in the Arctic?

• It suggests a rapid acceleration in ice loss.

• It indicates a stable climate.

• It has no significant impact on the environment.

• It shows that ice is becoming more resilient.

What is one of the major consequences of the thinning Arctic ice cover?

• Increased ice thickness.

• Major implications for the atmosphere and oceans.

• Stability in the Arctic ecosystem.

• No impact on Arctic species.

According to the WWF, what is the current state of the climate?

• It is unaffected by human activities.

• It is improving due to global efforts.

• It is close to a point where changes cannot be reversed.

• It is stable and not changing.

What action does the WWF urge world leaders to take?

• Focus on economic growth.

• Create a global climate agreement.

• Ignore climate change.

• Delay any climate action.
