CLEAN : AFPTV BEST OF 2021 // In northern Sweden, climate change reshapes Arctic landscapes

The video discusses the impact of climate change on glaciers, highlighting how warm summers have accelerated melting, causing significant environmental changes. Methane release and permafrost thawing are explored as contributors to climate change. The video also addresses changes in winter conditions affecting reindeer grazing and emphasizes the urgency of reducing emissions to prevent further glacier melting.

What is more crucial for glacier melting than winter snowfall?

• The amount of snowfall in spring

• The temperature during summer

• The altitude of the glacier

• The thickness of the glacier

What new environmental feature is associated with methane release due to ice melt?

• Higher mountain peaks

• Newly formed ponds

• Increased snowfall

• Thicker ice layers

What was a major concern regarding carbon sources in the 1950s to 1970s?

• The increase in carbon emissions

• The rise in carbon prices

• The stability of carbon sources

• The decrease in carbon storage

What happens when permafrost starts to thaw?

• It increases snowfall

• It reduces global temperatures

• It becomes more stable

• It releases stored carbon into the atmosphere

How have winter conditions changed, affecting reindeer grazing?

• Longer periods of snow

• More frequent rain turning into snow

• Increased snowfall

• Warmer winters with no snow

What is the main reason for the continued melting of glaciers?

• Decreased snowfall

• Rising temperatures and insufficient emission reductions

• Increased volcanic activity

• Higher sea levels

What is the urgent concern regarding glacier melting?

• The increase in snowfall

• The formation of new glaciers

• The expansion of melting to larger ice sheets

• The melting of smaller glaciers
