“Climate change” encompasses global warming, but refers to the broader range of changes that are happening to our planet. These include rising sea levels; shrinking mountain glaciers; accelerating ice melt in Greenland, Antarctica and the Arctic; ...
Climate change represents the most critical business and societal challenge of our era. With the increasing frequency of severe weather events, addressing current and future climate risks impacting your organization is crucial. Regulatory bodies and society are heightening their focus on...
Climate change - Abrupt Changes, Earth History, Impacts: An important new area of research, abrupt climate change, has developed since the 1980s. This research has been inspired by the discovery, in the ice core records of Greenland and Antarctica, of ev
On a longer timescale, scientists also know that temperatures throughout the Arctic have been much higher than now for the last 10000 years. 5) Antarctica Sea ice around Antarctica has been stable since 1979 if anything increasing slightly. NASA has established that the Antarctic ice cap has ac...

Unlike the Arctic, Antarctica is not a place to really see the effects of climate change, at least not yet. There is strong anecdotal evidence of changes on the Antarctic Peninsula and there have been some spectacular break ups of big ice shelves over the last few years, but despite recent...
Climate change, the periodic modification of Earth’s climate caused by atmospheric changes and the atmosphere’s interactions with geologic, chemical, biological, and geographic factors. Loosely defined, climate is the average weather at a distinct plac
