Climate scienceThe article reports that James Screen and colleagues at the University of Melbourne in Australia have disentangled and quantified local and remote contributions of melting ice to the rapid surface warming in the Arctic.doi:10.1038/486297eY. Sasai...
Melting se a ice: everyone's fault Who should be b. for climate change?We all. should. Climate change is a global problem. There are millions of sufferers and billions of"causers." As long as you live on Earth, you give off greenhouse gases. These gases cause warming temperatures and...
The Arctic sea ice cover in June 2024 retreated at a below average pace, leading to a larger total sea ice extent for the month than in recent years.NSIDC, 3 July 2024 Oddly, the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) employees who wrote up thesea ice summary for Junefelt it appro...
The following photos taken on August 15 near Hof, Iceland show the melting Breidamerkurjokull glacier (among the biggest of the dozens of glaciers that descend from Vatnajokull ice cap), which loses an average of 100 to 300 meters in length annually. (All images via VCG) (If you ...
Now, scientists have found that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS)—considered largely unaffected by climate change—may also be melting at an unexpectedly rapid speed. The WAIS, whose base is below se a level, has long been considered the most likely to break down. Besides gravity, a ...
[00:00.04]Climate change is threatening the sea ice environment of Emperor penguins. [00:07.16]A new study suggests that 98 percent of Emperor penguin groups [00:13.12]may be pushed close to extinction by the year 2100. [...

The ice in Antarctica is nearly 5 kilometers thick in places and we have very little idea what the conditions are like at the base, even though those conditions play a key role in determining the speed with which theice can respond to climate change, including how fast it ...
Melting Arctic sea ice can initiate a chain reaction, increasing the likelihood of severe winter weather outbreaks in the Northern Hemisphere’s middle latitudes. A newly published study from Cornell University scientists suggests that the melting of Arctic sea ice due to climate change can lead to...
