Polar amplification refers to greater change in climatic condition near the poles compared to the rest of the areas in the globe due to increased concentration of greenhouse gases. This is caused by a combination of many things – increase in atmospheric water vapour, increase in transport of heat from lower latitudes and changes in cloud cover.
