Since 1979 (the year we as humans started watching them) during the summer the ice caps have shrunken 20%.
example: during the summer of 1984 the ice caps were 78x90 meters now during the summer they are 67x83 meters- this is not a fact it is just away to explain it.
This indicates that they are melting.
