"They did not prove that A (Artic sea ice) and B (severe haze in China) are even connected, other than for the simple fact of their co-occurrence," Zhang said.
The warming of water could also pose a threat to human communities living near the coastal region — as the ice melts and ocean waves grow larger, the coast could see dangerous erosion. Can the loss of sea ice be prevented? Scientists do say there is hope for preserving the Arctic for as...
