Because our planet's climate is exiting the last ice age and that's what happens as the earth warms back up from a deep freeze

Several unique (1)Jet's make exhaust cloud's hi up, and then the dirty particle's from our polluted carbonized lower air, make their way to the cloud's, (black streak's hi up) This caused the cloud's to hold heat. (2) Water temperature's are riseing for the same reason, and so Arctic ocean ice (ice cap) underneath is corrodeing at unbelieveable pace, and could be melted any year or month now. I know what I'm saying in the last sentence is not confirmable, because sattellite's take picture's of reflected ice, thinness of ice now unsustainable to it's immediate role as a factor in cooling

It isn't.
Some glaciers are melting and some are growing, you just don't hear much about the growing parts.
However, recent solar system observations show that other planets [Mars and Uranus] are also warming due to increased solar radiation (no SUVs giving off carbon dioxide there!), so any ice melt today can be attributed to natural solar variation.

becuase of global warming. Global warming increases temperatures globally. Hence, the temp at north n south poles increases too. When the temp is lower than 0 degrees Celcius, the ice caps melt...

I think that it is just another cycle the earth is going through.When the planet was covered by volcanoes what was the atmosphere like then
