TED-ED: Why the Arctic is climate change's canary in the coal mine - William Chapman

The Arctic is a sensitive climate system, acting as an early indicator of climate change. It experiences feedback loops, such as reflectivity and insulation, which can amplify warming or cooling. Positive feedback loops destabilize the climate, while negative ones promote stability. Changes in the Arctic can affect global weather patterns, leading to extreme conditions. The Arctic's role as a climate change indicator highlights its global significance.

How do negative feedback loops differ from positive feedback loops in the context of climate systems?

What are the potential consequences of the North Pole warming at a faster rate than the equator?
