As summer wanes in the Northern Hemisphere, scientists are sounding the alarm over what could be one of the most extreme Arctic melt seasons in recorded history — a shift with potentially far-reaching ...
Scientists anticipate that a “negative leap second” might soon be required, shortening our days by a second, due to polar ice melting. Historically, Earth has seen its rotation decelerate due to tidal ...
Climate change is starting to alter how humans keep time. An analysis 1 published in Nature on 27 March has predicted that melting ice caps are slowing Earth’s rotation to such an extent that the next ...
Melting ice at the poles due to climate change may impact the Earth's spin, altering our global clock. According to a new paper in the journal Nature, the "leap second" due to be added to Coordinated ...
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Arctic ice cap is melting much faster than expected and is now about 30 years ahead of predictions made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a U.S. ice expert ...
Reports about the melting ice caps are distressing, but for the most part climate change remains abstract. The poor polar bear has been trotted out as the tangible face of global warming so often that ...
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 ...
