Q. Why is this in news?
A. According to a study, it is stated that parts of the Arctic region near Norway are warming at as much as seven times the rate of warming in the rest of the world.
- The region around the northern Barents Sea has been warming two to two-and-a-half times the average warming of the Arctic region and five to seven times the warming in the rest of the world.
- Such intense warming has never been observed in the Arctic region before. This is leading to the phenomenon of Atlantification.
