Polar regions found warming fast, raising sea levels

 

GENEVA (Reuters) - The Arctic and Antarctic regions are warming faster than
previously thought, raising world sea levels and making drastic global
climate change more likely than ever, international scientists said on
Wednesday.

New evidence of the trend was uncovered by wide-ranging research in the two
areas over the past two years in a United Nations-backed program dubbed the
International Polar Year (IPY), they said.

"Snow and ice are declining in both polar regions, affecting human
livelihoods as well as local plant and animal life in the Arctic as well as
global atmospheric circulation and sea-level," according to a summary of a
report by the researchers.
