The primary concern regarding the effects of climate change on ice caps is melting. As global temperatures rise, polar ice caps are retreating rapidly, leading to significant contributions to sea level rise. This poses threats to coastal communities and ecosystems, potentially displacing millions of people and disrupting marine habitats. Additionally, the loss of ice affects global climate patterns and wildlife that depend on ice-covered regions for survival. The urgency to address climate change stems from the immediate and long-term impacts ice cap melting will have on the planet.
