According to "a NASA study published in the Journal of Climate, "the oldest and thickest Arctic Sea ice is disappearing at a faster rate than the younger, thinner ice at the edges of the Arctic Ocean's floating ice cap" (Capatides and Learish, 2022). If the ice caps melt due to global warming, the sea level will rise and flood all the coastal cities. Freshwater and many species will disappear.
