East Antarctica has long been more resilient to the effects of global warming. But recent data suggests that even this last cold bastion of the southern continent may be feeling the effects of rising temperature
Antarctica would never completely melt unless temperatures rose so high that most life on Earth would die anyway, but many of the glaciers around the... Learn more about this topic: Changes in Sea Level: Causes & the Effect on the Environment ...
What are the effects of global warming in Antarctica? Explain the impact of global warming on sea levels and its consequences for human life. What's the difference between climate change and global warming? What are some examples of global warming causes?
In another wonderful post on global warming, Skeptical Science recently conducted a comprehensive review of scientific studies on thecauses of global warming. This follows up on recent posts on whetherhuman or natural factors cause global warming(hint: it’s the former) and “more science on human...
on human and natural factors influencing global warming. The obvious conclusion was that humans are driving global warming. In particular, there’s no waysolar activity,volcanic activity, and the El Niño Southern Oscillation are causing the warming. (Also see:What is Causing Global Warming?) ...

Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are drying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace.
On an Instagram account called everydayclimatechange, the photographer James Whitlow Delano curates pictures that document causes and effects of global warming and responses to it. Categorized in 17037 The Evidence Oceans are rising, Antarctica is losing its ice sheets, and the lower atmosphere is...
In the climate whiplash phase that follows this relatively moderate scenario, global mean temperatures are likely to climb 2–3°C higher than today by 2200–2300 AD, then enter a cooling recovery phase lasting as much as 100,000 years. Much of Greenland and western Antarctica's ice will me...
What triggered the die-off was the massive Gondwana supercontinent (today’s South America, Africa, Antarctica and Australia) drifting over the South Pole during the Ordovician. When a land mass covers the polar region, the ice cap reflects sunlight and slows melting, resulting in an expanding ...
