Satellite Observations Show Marine Clouds Amplify Global Warming
A new analysis of satellite cloud observations finds that global warming causes low-level clouds over the oceans to decrease, leading to further warming. The work,…

The White-tailed Swallow, Hirundo megaensis, and Ethiopian Bush-crow, Zavattariornis stresemanni, are living in ‘climatic lifeboats’ with their tiny ranges restricted on all sides by temperature…
Sea ice in the coastal regions of the Arctic may be thinning up to twice as fast as previously thought, according to a new modeling…
As our climate warms, ice melting from glaciers around the world is one of main causes of sea-level rise. As well as being a major…
New research by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) climate scientists and collaborators shows that satellite measurements of the temperature of the troposphere (the lowest region…
EPFL scientists are beginning to understand why corals in the Gulf of Aqaba, along with their symbiotic algae and bacteria, resist higher temperatures particularly well….
New calculations show the rise due to warming would be 30% above forecasts. Global sea level rise associated with the possible collapse of the West…
Cave deposits reveal Pleistocene permafrost thaw, absent predicted levels of CO2 release. The vast frozen terrain of Arctic permafrost thawed several times in North America…
An international research team including scientists from ETH Zurich has shown that almost all the world’s glaciers are becoming thinner and losing mass’ and that…
Fractures from melting and run-off will indirectly lead to sea level rise. More than a third of the Antarctic’s ice shelf area could be at…
The state of the planet is much worse than most people understand and that humans face a grim and “ghastly future” unless extraordinary action is…
There were no records set in 2020-21, but the downward trends in polar ice continue. The amount of sea ice around Earth’s poles waxes and…
A new study shows that if the population were fixed at current levels, the risk of population displacement due to river floods would rise by…
The loss of glaciers worldwide enhances the breakdown of complex carbon molecules in rivers, potentially contributing further to climate change. An international research team led…
Long-lost ice core provides direct evidence that giant ice sheet melted off within the last million years and is highly vulnerable to a warming climate….
The habitats of freshwater fish species are threatened by global warming, mainly due to rising water temperatures. A 3.2-degree Celsius increase in global mean temperature…
Using a 25-year record of satellite observations over the Getz region in West Antarctica, scientists have discovered that the pace at which glaciers flow towards…
Rising temperatures could reduce the efficiency of food chains and threaten the survival of larger animals, new research shows. Scientists measured the transfer of energy…
