A Vast Ancient Lake Is Hidden Deep Under Greenland’s Ice, Scientists Discover
Buried under a mile of ice, the basin once contained a lake the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined, and may reveal insights about our future in a warming world.
Ice Sheets Melting at Rate That Could 'Double' Flooding in Major Coastal Cities
A new study warns that if ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland continue to melt at a rate of 4mm per year, 16 million people could be affected by increased coastal flooding.
The Planet Is Probably in Worse Shape Than We Can Even Predict
Scientific estimates could be lowballing how bad the climate crisis will get.
NASA Discovers Second Crater Hidden Under Greenland's Ice
Within a matter of months, NASA has discovered the first subglacial craters known to science. They’re both huge and relatively young.
The Rise in Sea Levels Could Be Almost Double Previous Estimates
A new study has highlighted how the melting of ice sheets in Antartica has been seriously underestimated, meaning sea levels could increase by six feet before the end of the century.
If We Burn All the World's Fossil Fuels, We'll Melt Antarctica & Flood the Earth
Scientists have finally answered the 'Antarctica Question,' and the answer is: Stop burning goddam coal and oil.
This Simulation Shows the Future of Climate Change for Antarctic Ice Sheets
Researchers used high-res, large-scale computer modelling to estimate ice loss and rise in sea-levels in the West Antarctic.
It Was Warmer in Antarctica Than in New York City Last Week — and That's Not Even the Bad News
Rates of sea ice melt are higher than previously seen and could bring about dangerous levels of sea-level rise.
10 Feet of Global Sea Level Rise Is Now Guaranteed
“There’s nothing to stop it now," NASA says. And this is exactly what it will look like.
