Induction heating is the process of heating an electrically conducting object (usually a metal) by electromagnetic induction, where eddy currents (also called Foucault currents) are generated within the metal and resistance leads to Joule heating of the metal.
An induction heater (for any process) consists of an electromagnet, through which a high-frequency alternating current (AC) is passed. Heat may also be generated by magnetic hysteresis losses in materials that have significant relative permeability.
The frequency of AC used depends on the object size, material type, coupling (between the work coil and the object to be heated) and the penetration depth.

The ice could be melting due to the shift in the north pole, warmer weather is getting up there. It might not be the reason, but I found a 6 minute video that would explain it easier than typing. Basically the "north pole" is in Siberia now.... not the land mass just the northern axis point. Its much easier to watch than explain. Could be true, USDA even mentions the shift.

The magnetic pole has always shifted/moved around. I really don't understand why a magnetic shift would have any effects in temperature, since the physical axis/tllt of earth has not shifted at all.
No, what I'm trying to say is that there is not enough physical evidence so as to have a unified theory to prove this thing.It is very difficult to find absolute truth at this scale to demonstrate this phenomena as long as the physical manifestations that are indistinguishable as environmental consequences that can affect human activity.

So what you are actually saying is that some scientists are possibly wrong and others are possibly right. Just because all scientists don't agree, doesn't mean that one of them isn't right. But whom
