Greenland's Ice Sheet Approaches Dangerous Tipping Point Amid Rapid Melting
- Thursday February 27, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Greenland’s massive ice sheet is losing ice at an accelerating rate, with scientists warning that a global temperature rise of just 2°C could trigger irreversible collapse. The loss of 230 gigatons of ice per year is the estimated threshold for this tipping point. If melting continues at current rates, sea levels could rise by approximately 7 me...

Ocean Warming Rate Quadruples Over Four Decades, Accelerating Climate Change
- Friday January 31, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
New research highlights a troubling acceleration in ocean warming, with the rate of temperature rise quadrupling since the 1980s. According to a study in Environmental Research Letters, ocean surface temperatures now rise at 0.27°C per decade, up from 0.06°C. This rapid warming, driven by greenhouse gases like CO2 and methane, is worsening Earth'...

Antarctica’s Doomsday Glacier Is Headed for Collapse, Could Rise Global Sea Level Significantly: Study
- Monday September 23, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Recent research on the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica shows alarming rates of melting that could significantly impact global sea levels. Scientists from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, including Rob Larter and Kiya Riverman, discovered that Thwaites’ retreat may lead to a rise of up to 10 feet in sea levels, threatening coastal ...

NASA’s Satellite Imagery Shows Antarctic Ice Shelf Crumbling Faster Than Imagined
- Thursday August 11, 2022
- Reuters
NASA’s recent study led by researchers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has revealed that Antarctica's coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice. This raises new concern about how fast climate change is weakening Antarctica's floating ice shelves and accelerating the rise of global sea...

The Arctic Is Being Utterly Transformed - And We're Just Starting To Learn The Consequences
- Thursday September 29, 2016
- World News | Chris Mooney, The Washington Post
It's the fastest-warming part of the planet -- and the impacts will be felt far, far afield. Among many other assorted impacts, the rapidly melting Arctic is expected to flood shorelines as Greenland loses ice more and more rapidly (it contains some 20 feet of potential sea level rise), further pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere as permafros...

Seas Aren't Just Rising, Scientists Say - It's Worse Than That. They're Speeding Up.
- Thursday August 11, 2016
- World News | Chris Mooney, The Washington Post
On a warming Earth, seas inevitably rise, as ice on land melts and makes its way to the ocean. And not only that - the ocean itself swells, because warm water expands. We already know this is happening - according to NASA, seas are currently rising at a rate of 3.5 millimeters per year, which converts to about 1.4 inches per decade.

40 Million Indians At Risk From Rising Sea Levels: UN Report
- Saturday May 21, 2016
- India News | Press Trust of India
Nearly 40 million Indians will be at risk from rising sea levels by 2050, with people in Mumbai and Kolkata having the maximum exposure to coastal flooding in future due to rapid urbanisation and economic growth, according to a UN environment report.

Climate Model Predicts West Antarctic Ice Sheet Could Melt Rapidly

- World News | Justin Gillis, The New York Times
For half a century, climate scientists have seen the West Antarctic ice sheet, a remnant of the last ice age, as a sword of Damocles hanging over human civilization.
