The study finds that the effects will vary depending on the level of control over global warming. A new study suggests that the uplifting terrain beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet could significantly impact sea level rise in the future. Despite feeling like a stationary mass, most solid ground is undergoing...

Imagine this dire scenario: the Atlantic Ocean's sea currents which bring warm water to Europe collapses, making large swaths of the continent as cold as the Arctic Circle. In a grim turn, that's just the scenario that a team of European scientists are warning about in a new study in the journal Nature Communications: that this catastrophic collapse — along with the ruination of the Amazon rainforest and the melting of polar ice — is on track to actually happen if we continue along our current path.

Major Earth Systems on Track for Collapse, Scientists Find

The biggest iceberg on the planet has apparently been spinning in place for months — and that's very much not what it's supposed to do. As the BBC reports, the ginormous iceberg, dubbed A23a, is supposed to be moving along Earth's most powerful current. Instead, it's trapped atop a...

Strange structures up to 1,300 feet (around 400 metres) long have been discovered deep beneath the ice in Antarctica.The never-before-seen shapes were uncovered when a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dove 10 miles (17 kilometres) below the Dotson Ice Shelf, in the west of the continent, and travelled more than 600 miles (1,000 kilometres) along the underside of the ice, Live Science reports.The Dotson Ice Shelf is a 30-mile-wide (50 kilometre) chunk of floating ice which is seven times the size of New York City.It is part of the West Antarctic ice sheet, which is home to glaciers that are breaking...

Stunning giant structures found lurking beneath Antarctic ice

Editor's note: This article was originally published on April 25, 2022. It has since been updated. Even as activists continue to face opposition—and even disdain—from climate deniers for attempting to raise awareness about the danger our planet is in, mounting scientific data shows that the world's ice is melting at a rapid pace. According to a study published earlier in 2021, global ice loss has increased rapidly over the past two decades, soaring from about 760 billion tons per year in the 1990s to more than 1.2 trillion tons per year in the 2010s. Meanwhile, a second, NASA-backed study on the Greenland ice sheet found that at least 74 major glaciers that terminate in deep, warming ocean waters are being severely undercut and weakened.

What would the Earth look like if all the ice melted? The answer is terrifying.

Primary school geography paints such a neat picture of the world.It tells us, for example, that there are seven continents on Earth, but the truth is far more complex.Researchers are constantly encountering lost landmasses that constitute important pieces in the puzzle of our planet’s geological past.Now, a whole new continent has been found lurking beneath the icy waters of the northern Atlantic Ocean.The discovery was made around the Davis Strait, a large stretch of water located between Canada’s Baffin Island and Greenland.The strait was formed millions of years ago when the tectonic plates between the two islands shifted, reconfiguring the...

Sunday was Earth’s hottest day on record, according to a European climate tracking agency.Based on preliminary data, July 21 clocked a daily global average temperature of 17.09℃ (63℉) slightly exceeding the previous record of 17.08℃ in the same month of 2023.The EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service said it will not be the last record-breaker, as planet-warming fossil fuel pollution drives temperatures to shocking new highs.Global averages typically peak during the Northern Hemisphere summer, between late June and early August.The record fell as many countries endure prolonged and brutal heatwaves. Swathes of southern Europe have been grappling with soaring temperatures and...

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
