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.

The reality of what lies within our oceans has fascinated people since time immemorial, so it’s no wonder we’ve created countless myths about the watery depths.But step aside, Atlantis, scientists have discovered a real Lost City beneath the waves, and this one is teaming with life.The rocky, towering landscape is located west of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge mountain range, hundreds of metres below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, and consists of massive walls, columns and monoliths stretching more than 60 metres (200ft) tall.To be clear, it’s not the home of some long-forgotten human civilisation, but that doesn’t make its existence...

'Lost City' deep in the Atlantic is like nothing else we've ever seen on Earth

Without easy access to freshwater lakes, streams, and dams, roughly one out of every four humans depends on reservoirs beneath Earth's surface for survival. By the end of the century, tens to hundreds of millions could be deprived of even this tenuous supply of moisture as rising temperatures risk turning shallow groundwater supplies into toxic sumps.

Recent research indicates a significant acceleration in the melting of the Juneau Icefield glaciers in Alaska, with glacier loss rates doubling since 2010 and potentially leading to irreversible declines earlier than predicted. This accelerated melting and increased fragmentation could necessitate revising future projections of glacier retreat and sea level rise.

July 21 was the hottest day ever registered globally, according to preliminary data published Tuesday by the EU's climate monitor. The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said the global average surface air temperature of 17.09 degrees Celsius (62.7 degrees Fahrenheit) on Sunday was the warmest in their record books, which go back to 1940.

Unpredictable as they may seem, the forces of nature never cease to surprise us. Yet, the fact remains that the better we understand these forces, the better we can anticipate their impact. The latest in the mysterious saga of natural occurrences is the rising earth beneath the Antarctica Ice Sheet, a phenomenon taking precedence in our fight against future sea level rise.
