So, to be «CLEAR»,... Climate «Change» (current or more «recent» euphemism for Global «Warming») is NOT synonymous with, oh... let me see... «WEATHER»... the «SEASONS» («Duh?!?»)... or, the «NATUR» (AL) operation of the Earth (our World).

Polar amplication is of global concern due to the potential effects of future warming on ice sheet stability and, therefore, global sea level (see Sections 5.6.1, 5.8.1 and Chapter 13) and carbon cycle feedbacks such as those linked with permafrost melting (see Chapter 6)... The magnitude of polar amplification depends on the relative strength and duration of different climate feedbacks, which determine the transient and equilibrium response to external forcings.
