People all over the world are trying to cut carbon dioxide emissions, to slow the rate of global warming, which is melting the ice caps. Most countries have set a target to reduce their emissions. Unfortunately very few countries are on track to reach their target.

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.
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 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.

They are melting because it is hot
yes!
