Well, one of the answers to that question is our pollution. The smoke and carbon dioxide that is released from things such as factories and cars rise up into the atmosphere and get trapped. Usually when the Sun's heat reaches the Earth it bounces back into space to keep the climate at a comfortable temperature, but with the carbon dioxide the Sun's heat gets into the atmosphere but can't get out, so the atmosphere keeps getting hotter and hotter which is melting the ice and snow in places such as the arctic tundra. This is known as the "greenhouse effect".
