The world's two gigantic ice sheets are in greater peril from global warming than previously thought, a study published May 20 says.

It's getting hotter in Greenland, and last weekend temperatures rose enough to cause 18 billion tons of the country's ice sheet to melt over three days. Scientists have warned about the ...

Greenland, a vast but sparsely populated island situated between the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans, has been transformed by the climate crisis in recent decades. The changing environment has ...

The researchers stressed that even in the best-case climate scenarios, the melting process is unlikely to slow down meaningfully. Data collected from ice cores and seabed sediments indicate that past ...

In a new study published in Nature, which is based on satellite data, climate models, paleoclimate records, ice cores, deep-sea sediments, and even octopus DNA, underscores the dire consequences of ...

Efforts to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C under the Paris Climate Agreement may not go far enough to save the ...

A new study warns that even if the world meets its most ambitious climate goal, Greenland and Antarctica may still be doomed to melt.

New research shows polar ice sheets may begin irreversible collapse even at 1.5°C warming - putting millions at risk.

Even 1.5°C increase may not be sufficient to prevent ice sheets melting, says new study, suggesting that global warming must ...
