The Day After Tomorrow Was Just A Warm-Up. Real Danger Looms, Warn Scientists
A new study has revealed that predicting the timing of catastrophic climate events, such as the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), is extremely difficult.

Antarctic Ice Sheet Collapse Closer Than Thought, Reveals Octopus DNA
Scientists investigating how Antarctica's ice sheets retreated in the deep past have turned to an innovative approach: studying the genes of octopuses that live in its chilly waters.

North Greenland's Ice Shelves Shrink By A Staggering 35% In 45 Years, Study Finds
The largest floating ice shelves in the polar ice sheet have lost more than a third of their volume since 1978.

Sea Level Rise From Antarctic Melt 30 percent Higher Than Previously Anticipated
New study states if the West Antarctica Ice sheet collapsed, sea levels could rise by 10 feet

How Greenland's Ice Is Melting From Both Above And Below
There were no scientists around circa 11,000 years ago, when the great Laurentide Ice Sheet, which once covered much of present day North America, began to collapse in numerous stages and eventually dwindled into a collection of much smaller ice caps across Alaska and Canada, raising seas by tens of feet in the process. So no one could observe all ...

Antarctic Ice Sheet Collapse Has Begun, Shows Research
In an alarming find, scientists have discovered that the collapse of West Antarctic ice sheet - that holds enough water to raise global seas by several feet - has already begun.

West Antarctic Ice Sheet is Collapsing: Scientists
A major ice sheet in western Antarctica is melting, and its collapse is predicted to raise global sea level nearly two feet (61 centimeters), scientists said Monday.
