Worst-Case Climate Change Scenario: Greenland and Antarctica Losing Ice 6x Faster Than Expected
According to a new report, Greenland and Antarctica are losing ice six times faster than in the 1990s – currently on track with the Intergovernmental…
Research Shows Significant Mitigation of Global Warming Is Possible With Biomass Fuels
Biomass fuels derived from various grasses could significantly mitigate global warming by reducing carbon, according to a long-term field study by researchers at Ben-Gurion University…
New Reason Why Arctic Is Warming So Fast Found by Scientists
Explanation is proposed for extra heat in the oceans. The Arctic has experienced the warming effects of global climate change faster than any other region…
Dramatic Melting of Antarctica Under Record Heat Caught by Shocking NASA Satellite Images
On February 6, 2020, weather stations recorded the hottest temperature on record for Antarctica. Thermometers at the Esperanza Base on the northern tip of the…
Ancient Antarctic Ice Melt Increased Sea Levels by Over 3 Meters — and We’re Headed There Again
Rising ocean temperatures drove the melting of Antarctic ice sheets and caused extreme sea level rise more than 100,000 years ago, a new international study…
Boom of Vegetation, Fueled by Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Absorbs Carbon and Cools Our Planet
As Our Planet Gets Greener, Plants Are Slowing Global Warming But an international team of researchers, including Ranga Myneni and Chi Chen from BU, say…
Half of Late 20th-Century Arctic Warming Caused by Ozone-Depleting Substances – “It’s a Good-News Story”
Implicated in a Third of Overall Global Warming for the Time Period A scientific paper published in 1985 was the first to report a burgeoning…
2019 Was the Second Hottest Year on Record According to Both NASA & NOAA
According to independent analyses by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Earth’s global surface temperatures in 2019 were the second warmest since…
Long-Standing Climate Puzzle Finally Unraveled Thanks to Ancient Marine Fossils
Cardiff University scientists have shed new light on the Earth’s climate behavior during the last known period of global warming over 14 million years ago….

Sea-Level Rise From Antarctic Ice Cliffs May Be Overestimated Because of Faulty Assumptions
Study finds even the tallest ice cliffs should support their own weight rather than collapsing catastrophically. Antarctica’s ice sheet spans close to twice the area…
Global Airborne Mission Finds Tiny Particles Lead to Brighter Clouds in the Tropics
Global airborne mission finds a particle formation is brightening clouds. When clouds loft tropical air masses higher in the atmosphere, that air can carry up…
