The ozone layer is depleting, therefor methane has started to escape from underneath the surface, Methane is hot gas, obviously heat and freezing cold ice don't go together and it has began to melt the ice, In 2040 scientist believe there will be the very first Ice FREE summer in the Arctic..

Amazing isn't it?

Pollution in the Arctic comes partly in the form of tiny specks of soot and other things. These land on the ice and, because they are dark, absorb the sun's heat, melting holes in the ice below. They are called cryoconite.

The other pollution in the Arctic, of course, is carbon dioxide (CO2), emitted from other places around the world but spreading everywhere and causing global warming.

The same as the cause of "Global" warming everywhere. It is "Global Warming", therefore it is happening everywhere on the globe at the same time. It affects everything on this planet, but does not affect; The Moon, The Sun, any other thing outside the biosphere of this planet.
