FROZEN WORLDS
Our poles are some of Earth’s last remaining wildernesses. And just as we’re starting to understand these extraordinary places, they’re changing fast. As our planet warms, the polar ice melts. This speeds up global warming because reflective ice is replaced with dark water that absorbs more heat. We can still save our planet's ice if we transition to renewable energy and limit our planet's warming to 1.5 °C.
