The massive Thwaites glacier in West Antarctica contains enough ice to raise global sea levels by 65cm if it were to completely collapse. And, worryingly, recent research suggests…
Ice sheet’s demise poses the biggest threat for sea-level rise this century. Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier, sometimes referred to as the Doomsday Glacier, is retreating rapidly…
The accelerating melting of the Himalayan glaciers threatens the water supply of millions of people in Asia, new research warns. The study, led by the…
New analysis could help identify optimal materials for the crisscrossing struts that bolster bridges, towers, and buildings. Buildings are a big contributor to global warming,…
The Arctic Ocean has been getting warmer since the beginning of the 20th century – decades earlier than records suggest – due to warmer water…
An analysis of observational data and a large climate model finds Earth’s 11-year cycle is out of sync with solar fluctuations. The Earth’s global climate…
Global warming has caused extreme ice melting events in Greenland to become more frequent and intense over the past 40 years, raising sea levels and…
The University of Arizona team created maps of global temperatures for each 200-year interval since the last ice age. A University of Arizona-led effort to…
Glaciers across the globe have lost over nine trillion tonnes of ice in half a century. How will glaciers look over the coming decades? “It…
World’s largest study of the impact of temperature changes and kidney disease reveals that 7.4 percent of all hospitalizations for renal disease can be attributed…
Stop fossil fuels from causing global warming within a generation… The Carbon Takeback Obligation could do just that. Imagine a single policy, imposed on one industry, which…
How has scientific agreement on the anthropogenic nature of climate change evolved in 10 years? Scientific support for the link between human activity and climate…
Global warming will cause extreme sea levels to occur almost every year by the end of the century, impacting major coastlines worldwide, according to new…
A recent study led by Dr. Wei and Dr. Qiao from the First Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources provides an evaluation of the…
Warming oceans cause fewer bright clouds to reflect sunlight into space, admitting even more energy into earth’s climate system. Warming ocean waters have caused a…
Sea ice covered more area this summer compared to recent years, but it was also much thinner. Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean and neighboring…
The decline of sea ice in the Arctic has made the passage increasingly viable for ships, but it’s still not always smooth sailing. For centuries,…
Climate change is not only a human problem; animals have to adapt to it as well. Some “warm-blooded” animals are shapeshifting and getting larger beaks,…
