The polar ice caps are melting. And this has already led to an increase in the sea level. Between now and 2100, it is estimated that the sea level will rise anywhere from 1 foot up to 7 feet. But that ...

As the polar ice caps melt, the Earth actually slows down, California scientists say. Less ice at the Earth's poles and more water weight spread around to other places are leading to the planet ...

For most of us, first-hand knowledge of Greenland is probably limited to flying over it en route to North America. It’s likely that you’ve heard more about it over the last few months than in the rest ...

Melting polar ice is slowing the Earth’s rotation, but not enough to offset an even greater acceleration caused by changes in Earth’s molten core. As a result, scientists say the planet is spinning ...

A team of the world’s best ice and climate researchers studied a handful of recently publicized engineering concepts for protecting Earth’s polar ice caps and found that none of them are likely to ...

When it comes to Arctic apex predators, the polar bear is the first animal that typically comes to mind. It’s a top predator, feasting on seals and occasionally other sea mammals. Its hunting skills ...

It’s one of the most pressing questions facing climate scientists today: how vulnerable are the vast ice caps on Greenland and Antarctica to rising temperatures? An unfathomable amount of ice is ...

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 ...

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 ...

For most of us, first-hand knowledge of Greenland is probably limited to flying over it en route to North America. It's likely that you've heard more about it over the last few months than in the rest ...
