Antarctic Ocean Ice Melts To Record Low. How This Impacts Global Warming
The Antarctic Ocean area covered by ice has shrunk to a record low, exposing the thicker ice shelves buttressing Antarctica's ground ice sheet to waves and warmer temperatures, scientists reported Thursday.

Arctic Is Warming Nearly Four Times Faster Than the Rest of the World – New Research
A new study has suggested that the Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the rest of the world over the past 43 years. This means the Arctic is on average around 3 degree Celsius warmer than it was in 1980. The Arctic sea ice is covered in a bright layer of snow which reflects around 85% of incoming solar radiation back out to space.

Warm Water Headed Towards East Antarctic Ice Sheet Might Accelerate Global Sea-Level Rise
A recent study has revealed that warmer water in the ocean is moving towards the East Antarctic ice sheets and is likely to accelerate the rise in global sea level. This, according to experts, will damage the marine life and threaten human coastal settlements.

Global Warming Can Lead Temperature to Exceed 1.5 Degrees Celsius Within 5 Years, Suggests New WMO Report
According to a new climate update released by the UN's World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), there is a 50:50 possibility that the annual average global temperature will rise by 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels within next five years.

Pluto May Have Started Out Its Life as a Hothead
Pluto, a frigid little world inhabiting the solar system's outer reaches, may have been born as a warmer place sheltering a subsurface ocean that still exists today, researchers said on Monday.

Warmer Oceans Have Caused Changes In Planet Earth: Report
The upper depths of the oceans of the Earth have warmed significantly over the last 20 years causing an increase in the number of severe hurricanes, storm surges, loss of ice and change in global weather patterns, according to a new report.

Oceans on Mars May Have Never Existed: Study
Ancient Mars never had oceans of water and could have looked more like an icy snowball than the warmer, wetter planet that many researchers have suggested, according to a new study.
