Which is true of climate change in polar regions? Both the temperatures and the rate of temperature rise have risen. Verkhoyansk and Oymyakon. Northern Hemisphere temperatures are more strongly dominated by continentality than are Southern Hemisphere temperatures.

The polar climate regions are characterized by a lack of warm summers. Every month in a polar climate has an average temperature of less than 10 °C (50 °F). A polar climate consists of cool summers and very cold winters, which results in treeless tundra, glaciers, or a permanent or semi-permanent layer of ice.

The regions of the Earth designated as polar are those areas located between the North or South Pole and the Arctic or Antarctic Circles, respectively. The northern polar region, called the Arctic, encompasses the Arctic Ocean and a portion of some surrounding land masses.

Why our polar regions are so important The Arctic and Antarctic are two of the Earth’s most special places. The white ice reflects some of the sun’s rays back into space, helping to keep the Earth at an even temperature. Sea Ice also helps to regulate the movements of warm and cold water around the oceans.

The Arctic (top) and Antarctic (bottom) polar regions.

Yes, there will probably be some short-term and long-term benefits from global warming. For example, the flip side of increased mortality from heat waves may be decreased mortality from cold waves.

Benefits of climate action

• new jobs and ‘green’ jobs.
• improved competitiveness.
• economic growth.
• cleaner air and more efficient public transport systems in cities.
• new technologies such as electric or plug-in hybrid cars, energy-efficient homes or offices with intelligent heating and cooling systems.

Burning fossil fuels, releasing chemicals into the atmosphere, reducing the amount of forest cover, and the rapid expansion of farming, development, and industrial activities are releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and changing the balance of the climate system.
