(wait, where have you heard that before?(Opens in new window)). But it turns out that there’s a heck of a lot of cool science behind melting ice cream. We chatted with our Flavor Gurus to bring you some really cool fun facts about melting that will help you get to know the foe...
Unlike other countries, in Iceland you can stand in the shower as long as you like without worrying too much about the water bill. Due to the islands volcanic activity, the hot water is both plentiful and inexpensive making it perfect for heating homes, greenhouses, melting snow and filling...
While sea ice melt would not cause sea levels to rise around the world, the melting of polar ice sheets would, and research has shown that sea levels did rise during the last decade. From January 2003 to December 2010, ice cap melting essentially contributed to a 1.06-millimeter rise in s...
If you have a few weather or science-obsessed Facebook friends, you’ve probably seen videos of so-called “ice circles” circulating online in the last 10 years ...
The rounded landscape of drumlins—smooth, elongated mounds left by the melting ice of the final Pleistocene glaciation—in the southeast is punctuated by Slieve Croob, which rises to 1,745 feet (532 metres), and culminates in the Mourne Mountains, which reach an elevation of 2,789 feet (...
Ice, solid substance produced by the freezing of water vapour or liquid water. At temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), water vapour develops into frost at ground level and snowflakes (each of which consists of a single ice crystal) in clouds. Below the sam
and has found that 71 percent of all extreme weather events studied in the past 20 years were made more likely or more severe by human-caused climate change—including 93 percent of extreme heat events. 7. sea levels are rising faster today than ever before melting ice sheets and glaciers ...

Only 38% of respondents could answer that question correctly, and even fewer (30%) knew or guessed correctly that melting of Greenland and Antarctic land ice, rather than Arctic sea ice, could potentially do the most to raise sea levels. At odds with the low levels of factual knowledge, ...
10)Sadly, these incredible creatures are classified as “vulnerable”. The biggest threat to polar bears isclimate change. Rising global temperatures means that sea ice is melting earlier and forming later each year, leaving polar bears less time to hunt for food. But the good news is you can...
