This article explains how climate change has been rapidly melting the Arctic over the course of a few years. As a result‚ the faster the arctic melts the more damage will be done to the ecosystem‚ planet‚ and humans. A few examples of how drastically climate change has shaped the North are that the sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean began to decrease in size when it should have been increasing in size. Also‚ temperatures at the North Pole rose more than 20 degrees Celsius. These changes are causing
