<p>The effects of climate change are being felt in the Arctic more immediately and severely than in most other regions in the world. Even inferentially, the Arctic is warming at a rate that is two times that of the global average.</p>
<p>Snow that settles on the surface falls over previous layers of snow, and with the passage of time, these become compressed to form glacial ice. Each layer in the ice core, like in soil deposits visible in certain canyons at other parts of the Earth, represents snow that had fallen at a certain time in the past.</p>
<p> Instead of relying on individual incidents, a change in climactic patterns as indicated by changes in climactic zones as defined in widely accepted systems such as the Koppen-Geiger and Koppen-Trewartha climate classification models could suggest that climate change is indeed forcing changes in the Earth’s climatic patterns.</p>
