Polar amplification refers to the potential for greater warming in polar regions compared to the rest of the globe due in part to strong positive feedbacks between ice cover and albedo decreases and air temperature increases in these regions causing additional warming. In the Arctic, amplification is already observed, while for the Antarctic, amplification does not seem to be in effect yet due to the presence of dampening processes. 2, record 1, English, - polar%20amplification
