A new report shows that temperatures in the Arctic are rising unexpectedly, causing the ice here to melt.
The Arctic experienced its warmest period since 1900, according to a report released Tuesday by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The report notes that the temperature increase here is higher than in the rest of the world. The report was prepared by 112 authors from 13 countries. The report also states that the winter snow cover in March 2025 was the lowest in 47 years since satellite imagery began. The authors presented the report at a press conference on Tuesday. A reporter asked about the link between fossil fuel pollution and climate change in the Arctic. However, NOAA's chief scientist, Stephen Thur, did not directly address the issue of fossil fuels and climate change in his response. “We know that our planet is changing dramatically. Our role at NOAA is to document what is happening today and try to predict what may happen in the future,” he said. US President Donald Trump has been ignoring the role of industrialization in climate change and its impact on the environment. Recently, US federal agencies have removed topics such as climate change and global warming from their websites.
While the Arctic is causing environmental damage, countries such as the US, Russia and Norway are planning to extract oil there.
Last October, Kremlin Investments’ Kirill Dmitriev said that a 112-kilometer rail road and cargo link from Siberia to Alaska would help the US and Russia jointly extract resources there.
