Humans produce greenhouse gases when they drive their cars or plants manufacture products. These gases are trapped in the atmosphere and allow solar radiation(the Sun) in to the earth atmosphere but doesn't let it out. The excess heat that is trapped increases the temperature which cases the ice caps to melt; even a small rise in temperature causes mass melting.
