Latest about Climate Change
Antarctica's sea ice reaches its lowest level since records began, for the 2nd year in a row
Antarctica's sea ice recently shrank to its lowest extent since satellite records began more than 40 years ago.
Doomsday Glacier is melting slower than previously thought — but it's still in big trouble
Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, known as the Doomsday Glacier for the role its melt could play in global sea level rise, is melting more slowly than previously estimated, new research finds. But the glacier is still in trouble.
Which animals are most likely to survive climate change?
What animal species will survive projected future droughts, rising temperatures and habitat loss?
What are the effects of global warming?
Reference The effects of global warming will be far-reaching and often devastating, scientists have warned.
10 signs we got closer to climate disaster in 2022
Earth's climate is warming dramatically, and the signs are all around us, from vanishing glaciers to zombie viruses awakening in melting permafrost.
Greenland's glaciers are melting 100 times faster than estimated
Scientists are getting a better handle on how fast Greenland's ice is flowing out to sea. Old models that used Antarctica as a baseline were way off the mark.
Surprising loss of sea ice after record-breaking Arctic storm is a mystery to scientists
Although models accurately predicted the evolution of the Arctic storm, scientists were surprised to see just how much sea ice thickness decreased in the storm's aftermath.
Rising sea levels could swamp the US coastline by 2050, NASA predicts
Sea levels are expected to rise around the contiguous U.S. faster than previously thought, a new NASA study finds.
Climate summit agrees to 'historic' loss-and-damage fund — but misses warming goals
New fund would aid responses to floods, fires and storms. But a failure to address warming and greenhouse gas emissions undercuts the funding success, critics say.
Global CO2 emissions are cooking the planet and 'show no sign of decreasing,' report warns
Staving off the worst impacts of climate change means preventing global temperatures from rising more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels. But CO2 emissions are so high that we are slated to cross that line within a decade.
