Description:

Pan-Arctic (60° N-90° N) surface air temperatures continue to increase faster than those for the planet as a whole (90° S-90° N), especially during winter (Ballinger et al. 2025). Since 1980, the Arctic annual air temperatures have warmed nearly three times faster than the global mean due to global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (Sweeney et al. 2023; Zhou et al. 2024).
