Effects of Global Warming on Arctic Regions According to the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we must cut the worldwide use of fossil fuels by at least 90% if mankind is to have any chance of stopping global warming.

The condensed heat melts or dissolves all the glacier and ice in the Arctic regions. The sudden change of climate can have…

is by finance. They could solely depend on vegetation resources to survive with their families and if that is taken away from them, then it could be far more difficult for them to survive. “The impact of snowmobiles was greatest on soil and rock lichens and rigid cushion plants.
