Reply to comment by fat-lobyte in ELI5 why is everybody saying that an 1.5°C increase in global temperature is catastrofic? by BloodyBite1

Just to add to this, it’s normal for the polar ice caps or glaciers to go through melting and freezing phases. A slight increase in temperature means the melting is longer and the re-freezing is shorter so the balance is thrown off and hence the melting ice caps or disappearing glaciers
