Global warming is melting the polar ice caps and they are slowly disappearing.

Melting ice caps are because of global warming. This global warming also causes ozone depletion.
The ice caps are made of freshwater.
Ice caps and glaciers are melting. They melt during summer and build up again during winter, especially if snow falls. One or two glaciers in the world are actually increasing. But most glaciers and ice caps are losing ice.
Melting ice caps contribute to the warming of the Earth because ice reflects sunlight, which helps to cool the planet. When the ice caps melt, less sunlight is reflected and more is absorbed by the Earth's surface, leading to increased warming.
The outcome of the melting of ice caps is rising sea levels, which can lead to coastal flooding, loss of habitat for wildlife, and displacement of communities living near coastlines.
They are melting because it is hot
yes!
There is no indication that they will stop melting (technically, they really wouldn't stop even if the earth weren't warming). Much of the area of the ice caps has been observed to be accelerating in melt, in fact.
Global warming is on the rise again and the ice caps are melting rapidly.
