Abstract

In recent years, the rapid development of science and technology has led to the emergence of many environmental challenges, which have aroused wide attention of the international community. The uninterrupted advancement of human society has exerted innumerable impacts on the natural world, with the most striking example being the striking alterations in Arctic Sea ice. The Arctic Sea ice coverage is projected to plummet to an unprecedented low in 2023, heralding a distressing new era. Recent studies indicate that the Arctic might experience an almost complete absence of floating ice in the summer by the 2030s, approximately a decade earlier than previously anticipated. Catastrophic consequences have been attributed to anthropogenic global warming, with researchers estimating that as much as 90 percent of the glacier's melting can be attributed to human activities. Even with the implementation of stringent emission reduction measures, the current situation appears to be irreversible. Furthermore, global warming has profoundly influenced the polar ecological environment. This paper, through comprehensive data and research reports, ascertains that a multitude of human activities have significantly impaired the living environment and behavioral patterns of polar organisms in various aspects. It is hoped that this article will enlighten the public about the deleterious effects of human activities on the environment.
