The Arctic is gradually losing its ice cover leading to global warming

#globalwarming A group of 63 scientists from 13 countries have created a report card of the Arctic and the findings should be a cause of worry because it reveals several single-year dramatic changes, unlike other years. The broad conclusion is that the Arctic and its future are looking dimmer every year.
As per the report, during spring and summer of 2014, Earth's icy northern region lost more of its signature whiteness that reflects the sun's heat. Dark land and bodies of water surfaced – these absorb more energy, keeping yet more heat on already warming planet. The result is rise in global warming.
The report also states that spring snow cover in Eurasia reached a record low in April. Moreover, the Arctic summer sea ice continued a long-term, steady decline. And, worse, Greenland set a record in August for the least amount of sunlight reflected in that month.
The report is from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other agencies.
It seems that while the U.S. East Coast shivered during January's cold snap from a polar vortex that slipped south, parts of Alaska were 18 degrees warmer than normal. These ae not good signs for the health of our Earth.
