Scientists for years have alluded to this outcome occurring once ice caps fully melt during summer, potentially prompting an ...

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 ...

Since 1979, Arctic ice has shrunk by 1.35 million square miles, a new JPL study found ice loss in Greenland is far worse than previously thought and Antarctic ice is now at the lowest level since ...

Global warming caused by climate change is shifting how quickly the Earth's rotation is speeding up and affecting the time we keep, according to a study published Wednesday. Research by University of ...

A 4-inch ocean surface level rise in 2009 and 2010 affected coastlines from New York to Newfoundland, Canada, and wasn’t related to any hurricane or winter storm. Pictured, a surfer catches a wave ...
