One the the pictures from the IPCC report shows substantial increased warming in the northern latitudes. I was wondering why they are predicted to be so much higher than everywhere else on Earth.

I believe a big part of it is sea ice reflects the sunlight and help keep the pools cool, as the ice melts and is replaced by land/ocean it absorbs more and gets hotter.
