The Arctic just lost 1% of its ice in only six weeks—62 gigatons gone, enough to raise sea levels worldwide. Scientists called it 'shocking,' with melt rates nearly double the previous record. Svalbard, home to the global seed vault, is melting way faster than normal, mostly because of extreme heat waves. If this keeps up, coastal cities could be in real trouble. Time to rethink how we treat the planet! #Science #ClimateCrisis #ArcticMeltdown
