Arctic Ocean could become ice-free by 2030. Why it matters?
Scientists warn that the Arctic Ocean could be ice-free in summer by the 2030s. The loss of sea ice would have global and dangerous consequences.

Arctic Ocean: why winter sea ice has stalled, and what it means for the rest of the world
Multi-year ice helps reflect the sun's rays, reducing the rate of global warming. However, these ice sheets are rapidly disappearing, releasing CO2 and raising sea levels.
