from the decrease in extent and thickness of Arctic sea ice, perma- __2
frost thawing, coastal erosion, changes in ice sheets and ice shelves, altered distribution and abundance of species. __3

21st century as it did during the 20th century. The amplified warming in Arctic, in turn, directly contributes to overall global warming, as __9
