October 23rd Climate Companion Quiz Answer 'X False'. The Lie That Arctic Glaciers Are Increasing, What's the Shocking Truth?
Every day, the 'Climate Companion Quiz' helps us learn about environmental common sense and commit to small actions for the Earth. On Thursday, October 23rd, today's quiz was about 'Arctic glaciers', the clearest evidence of climate change.
Is the statement "Arctic glacier area is increasing due to climate change" really true? Along with the answer, let's explore in detail what is happening in the Arctic and the severe truth behind it.
October 23rd Climate Companion Quiz Answer Revealed
Key takeaway: Today's answer is 'X (False)'. The Arctic glacier area is rapidly 'decreasing', not 'increasing', due to climate change.
Today's quiz was an important question that asked how accurately we perceive the reality of climate change.
- Question: The Arctic glacier area is increasing due to climate change. (T/F)
- Answer: X (False)

Why is 'False' the Answer? The Shocking Reality of the Arctic
Key takeaway: The Arctic is warming 2-3 times faster than the global average, leading to a continuous decrease in glacier area.
Many of you may have gotten the answer right, but the reason is far more serious.
- Arctic Amplification: The rate of temperature increase in the Arctic is 2-3 times faster than the global average. This phenomenon shows that the impact of global warming is maximized in the Arctic.
- Vicious Cycle of 'Sea Ice-Albedo Feedback': White glaciers reflect sunlight, helping to cool the Earth. However, when glaciers melt and expose the dark ocean, the ocean absorbs light, trapping more heat. This warms the seawater, leading to a vicious cycle of further glacier melt.
- Reality Proven by Data: Satellite observation data shows that the Arctic sea ice area has decreased by over 40% compared to the 1980s. Statistics also indicate a decrease of about 13% every decade.
Impact of Arctic Glacier Loss on Our Lives
Key takeaway: This is not just an Arctic problem. It leads to global disasters such as rising sea levels and an increase in extreme weather.
The reduction of Arctic glaciers is not just a problem of polar bear habitats disappearing; it poses a direct threat to our lives.
- Sea Level Rise: Melting glaciers flow into the sea, increasing the risk of flooding in coastal lowlands.
- Increase in Extreme Weather: Arctic warming destabilizes the jet stream, increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as heatwaves, cold waves, and heavy rains that we experience.
- Ecosystem Collapse: It leads to the endangerment and extinction of polar species such as polar bears and seals.
