Arctic ice cap melt could release vast amounts of methane

The video discusses the impact of warming on Arctic ice depletion, highlighting the role of methane and carbon dioxide in trapping heat. It details the rapid shrinkage of the Arctic ice cap from 2003 to 2010 and explains how rising temperatures lead to permafrost melting, releasing methane. The video also covers the melting of ocean floor permafrost, which further contributes to methane release, exacerbating the retreat of the Arctic ice cap.
