The phrase "artic ice" is not correct in written English; it should be "Arctic ice." You can use it when discussing ice found in the Arctic region, particularly in the context of climate change or environmental studies.
Example: "The melting of Arctic ice is a significant indicator of global warming."
Alternatives: "polar ice" or "ice in the Arctic".
(This status allowed the Administration to create a special rule exempting greenhouse gas emissions which are, through global warming, melting the artic sea ice used by the polar bears for hunting from regulation under the Endangered Species Act).
"The change in Artic sea ice is much easier to explain when the global warming happens, as we are likely to have a reduction in sea ice over the Artic," he said.
The effects of an ice-free artic by 2015 don't seem so threatening if you stand to gain billions of dollars by sending drill bits into the potentially huge oil reservoirs there.
The thermodynamic forcing effects of an ice-free artic by 2015 don't seem so threatening if you stand to gain billions of dollars by sending drill bits into the potentially huge oil reservoirs there.
Greenhouse gas emissions contribute to global warming, which is reducing the levels of summer sea ice in the Artic.
U.S. government scientists announced today that sea ice in the Artic has reached its lowest extent for 2014.
And as the temperatures in the Artic have risen, the sea ice has begun to melt sooner and refreeze later, leaving the polar bears stranded on land for longer lean times.
With sea ice in the Artic ocean now shrunk to its second lowest level since 1979, climate scientists such as Jay Zwelly of NASA say that "climate warming is coming larger and faster than the models are predicting," and that in less than ten years the Arctic could be wholly free of sea ice in the summer.
Click's Spencer Kelly discovers how artists are working with computers to transform a standard artic dwelling in Sweden into a magical ice hotel.
