Question

Early coal miners used canaries in cages as an early warning system to detect dangerous air

conditions in mines. Arctic average temperatures have risen at almost twice the rate of the rest
of the world. Some scientists are using the "canary in the coal mine" analogy to explain the
importance of this data. Why do you think that conditions in the arctic are considered to be an
early harbinger of climate change events​

Answer 1

Because the Arctic glacier is crucial in cooling the land.

Step-by-step explanation:

The glaciers contained in the Arctic are essential for cooling the earth's climate, which is why Arctic conditions are so important in determining the earth's climate changes.

These glaciers reflect about 80% of the sunlight in the northern hemisphere, and can cool the region's climate. If Arctic glaciers melt, most of the sun's rays will be absorbed by the ocean, increase the temperature and increase the melting of the glaciers.

As a result, the entire ecosystem will be damaged.
