Evidence of global warming is most dramatic in the polar regions, where melting permafrost threatens polar bears and emperor penguins with extinction. Near the Arctic Circle, researchers are finding ...

Hidden warm-water traps beneath Antarctica may be melting the continent’s ice far faster than scientists realized.

As global warming intensifies, scientists are raising alarms over the rapid melting of Iceberg A23A, one of the largest in the world, which could trigger catastrophic consequences, including rising ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden Antarctic threat that could accelerate global sea level rise far faster than expected.

A research team has found that summer rainfall in the Arctic would increase by about 17% under 2°C global warming, approximately 16% of which is attributed to sea ice retreat. Their findings were ...

Add to the long list of global warming concerns that melting ice caps could trigger more volcanic eruptions. Worse, researchers said Monday at a scientific conference in Prague, the increasing ...

Global sea levels may rise faster than previously expected, suggests a new study in Nature Communications. The reason is that ...

Glaciers will continue melting for centuries even if global temperatures stabilise immediately, according to a new study. About 40 per cent of the world's glacier mass is already set to disappear due ...

There’s just something special about those powerful, snow-white polar bears. That’s probably why it’s so hard to learn about what’s happening to their habitat. I talked about that with my friend ...

Photos from space show how the ice sheet in Greenland has changed as melting glaciers contribute to sea-level rise.

As glaciers melt around the world, long-dormant volcanoes may be waking up beneath the ice. New research reveals that massive ice sheets have suppressed eruptions for thousands of years, building up ...

VAIL — Nobel Prize-winning scientist Kevin Trenberth left no doubt about his perspective when he opened the Vail Symposium’s panel discussion on climate change with a title slide proclaiming, “Global ...
