A comprehensive brushup of the State Department of the Arctic bring out some worrying information about arise temperature rate , which are more than double those of anywhere else on Earth , as well as some strange new home ground changes for gelid bears .
NOAA has released its Arctic Report Card , which analyzes the current United States Department of State of the Arctic neighborhood , from a climate , vegetation , and wildlife perspective . Among the findings is that the planet - encompassing warming course is even more pronounced in the Arctic for ocean temperatures and especially in Arctic air temperature , which are rising double as fast as any other spot on Earth , a phenomenon called “ Arctic gain . ”
Another notable finding from the report notes that , while the polar bear population is on the decline , that decline is uneven , with some areas being hit much surd than others — and , in one region , there ’s even a ascension .
