• The Arctic is suffering the most. Average temperatures of Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have increased almost twice the global average.

• Arctic ice is disappearing rapidly, and the region may have its first completely ice free summer in 2040 or sooner. Polar bears are already becoming fewer due to ice loss.

• Glaciers and other mountain snows are melting much more quickly as compared to years ago.

• Extreme weather events, such as wild fires, heat waves and strong tropical storms have also become more common due to the global climate change.
