If the ice caps melt, then the sea levels will rise, thus creating floods and possibly reducing the land available for all living things.
This will also increase the possibility of circulation of temperature in the saltwaters. If the seas and oceans then stop, then the distribution of the temperature will not be possible, thus resulting in the decrease of temperature, particularly in Western Europe.
The polar ice caps melting is a huge world wide problem. If the ice melts the entire world floods. The ice hold a lot of water in one place.
Food chains also will be thrown out of line for the world.
An additional concern is the change in ocean salinity levels. Melting icecaps introduce a large amount of fresh water into the oceans. A minor change in salinity will have drastic consequences not just on sea-life, but on oceanic currents and weather patterns.
It can cause the sea level to rise. It also can cause the oceans to temporarily become colder.

Why does the melting of the ice caps lower the concentration of salt in the ocean?
The ice caps are made of freshwater.
What are some slogans for polar ice caps melting?
i am melting can you see me ?
Why are ice caps on mountains not melting?
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.
What are the reactions of global warming?
The ploar ice caps are melting.
How is it that global warming is heating up the earth and melting the ice caps but the earth is also cooling down over time?
Melting Ice Caps in no way indicate a cooling Earth.

Why are the polar ice caps being damaged?
Global warming is melting the polar ice caps and they are slowly disappearing.
What country has the worst ice caps melting?
africa
Is the melting of polar ice caps chemical change?
no
What does the ice caps melting got to do with the depletin of the ozone layer?
Melting ice caps are because of global warming. This global warming also causes ozone depletion.
What part of the earth is melting because of global warming?
Glaciers and ice caps are melting. The ice over Greenland is melting and so is the Arctic sea ice.

Are humans responsible for polar ice caps melting?
The arctic ice caps are melting because of global warming. The strong consensus of climate scientists is that human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, and deforestation, are responsible for gloabal warming. So, yes, humans are responsible for polar ice caps melting.
What are the melting polar ice caps affecting the most?
warming.
What are the reactions of global warming?
The ploar ice caps are melting.
How is it that global warming is heating up the earth and melting the ice caps but the earth is also cooling down over time?
Melting Ice Caps in no way indicate a cooling Earth.
