Polar Ice and Climate of the Earth
Abstract
An hypothesis to explain observed warming climate is proposed. It is assumed that land existed in the past at the site of the Arctic Ocean, which sagged under the weight of the Arctic ice sheet. As a result of the lowering land ocean began to wash the glacier, this led to its melting. Nowadays, the final stage of the process is observed. Melting outer Polar Regions of the Northern Hemisphere ice is the main cause of the observed warming. The details of the proposed mechanism and a number of additional effects are discussed.
