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 could significantly impact the Arctic's atmosphere, oceans, and species. The WWF warns that the climate may be nearing an irreversible tipping point and urges world leaders to form 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 predicted.

• The ice is unaffected by climate change.

• The ice is melting faster than predicted.

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

• Increased ice thickness.

• Stability in the Arctic ecosystem.

• Major implications for the atmosphere and oceans.

• No impact on the Arctic species.

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

• It is improving due to global efforts.

• It is stable and not changing.

• It may be close to an irreversible point.

• It is far from reaching a critical point.

What action does the WWF urge world leaders to take?

• Ignore the climate changes.

• Delay any climate action.

• Create a global climate agreement.

• Focus on economic growth only.

What is the potential impact of not addressing the rapid Arctic ice melt?

• Reversal of climate changes.

• No significant impact on global systems.

• Irreversible changes in the climate.

• Immediate recovery of Arctic ice.
