The Arctic is heating up dramatically due to powerful earthquakes, not human activity.

Scientists believe that the sharp warming in the Arctic is not due to the carbon footprint of industry, but due to the destruction of glaciers and the release of methane after the catastrophic earthquakes of the 1950s and 60s. It was during this time that the resulting deformation tectonic waves, moving at a speed of about 100 kilometers per year, traveled two thousand kilometers between the Aleutian arc at the border of tectonic plates and the Arctic shelf. These waves destroyed the natural "repositories" of methane, after which it entered the atmosphere. As a result, the atmosphere warmed up. A similar mechanism works for Antarctica.
