The costly effects of climate change may dent more than our wallets by the 2030s. Researchers found that Earth’s rotation is speeding up ever so slightly due to melting ice caps, which could force ...

Ice-core science is incredibly important, because it can help us understand how climate changed in the past — and how it might change in the future. It’s also, as the participants in the North ...

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 ...

GREENLAND, AS YOU MAY KNOW, IS NEITHER NOT GREEN AND NOT REALLY LAND, BUT RATHER COVERED BY THE SECOND LARGEST BODY OF ICE IN THE WORLD, SECOND ONLY TO THE ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET. BUT THE ICE IS MELTING.

Most simulations of our climate's future may be overly sensitive to Arctic ice melt as a cause of abrupt changes in ocean circulation, according to new research. Most simulations of our climate's ...

New geological data has given more insight into the rate and magnitude of global sea level rise following the last ice age, about 11,700 years ago. This information is of great importance to ...

For most of its history, Earth has existed in a greenhouse state—warm, ice-free, and rich in atmospheric carbon dioxide. The ice-covered conditions of today are an exception, shaped by an intricate ...
