One of the main impacts of climate change is polar melting.
The rise in temperature empowers the greenhouse effect and the thawing of the ice mass, especially at the North Pole,
causing a rise in sea level, which has already been noticed in many coastal areas of the planet
and is threatening to completely swallow entire countries in the not-so-distant future if solutions are not found now.
The melting of the North Pole is directly related to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2).
Since the 1970s, when satellite records began, the relationship between the increase in CO2
concentration in parts per million (ppm) could clearly be appreciated, as well as a global temperature increase and the disappearing ice surface.
