... Why is the Arctic so sensitive to climate change? The North Pole is significantly warmer than the South Pole because it’s in the middle of an ocean. Long, warm summers decrease snow and ice cover and expose the dark water, which absorbs far more solar energy. As a result, the Arctic is heating up tw ...
