Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

Arctic shrinkage is the decrease in size of the Arctic region. This is a change in the regional climate generally agreed to be a result of global warming. Projections of sea ice loss suggest that the Arctic Ocean will likely be free of summer sea ice sometime between 2060 and 2080 while another estimate puts this date at 2030. Because of the rapid response of the Arctic to global warming, it is often seen as a high-sensitivity indicator of climate change. This book studies Arctic shrinkage including global warming, sea ice, Arctic methane release, permafrost, tipping point, and solar radiation management.
