The Earth’s climate has now warmed by 1.49°C (2.6°F) above pre-industrial levels due to human activity, according to a recent study. This revelation challenges previous estimates and raises questions ...

Global warming caused by humans might be closer to a crucial climate threshold than current estimates suggest. A study 1 of Antarctic ice cores argues that, in 2023, human-driven warming reached 1.49 ...

A detailed reconstruction of climate during the most recent ice age, when a large swath of North America was covered in ice, provides information on the relationship between CO2 and global temperature ...

Ice core records of atmospheric hydrogen reveal a huge rise in concentration since the Industrial Revolution which has ...

Current climate policies imply a high risk for tipping of critical Earth system elements, even if temperatures return to below 1.5 C of global warming after a period of overshoot. A new study ...

As the summer of 2024 is on track to become the hottest on record, scientists are digging deep into the Earth's coldest corners to recover an icy record of what the atmosphere was like hundreds of ...

In this aerial view taken in 2024, melting icebergs lie in the Ilulissat Icefjord in Greenland. It sounds like something out of science fiction: In the late 1950s, the US Army carved a tiny “city” ...

In Switzerland, the Morteratsch-Pers glacier complex is rapidly shrinking. This ice cave, formed in 2023, marks a glacier gate where meltwater emerges. Without decisive climate action, Swiss glaciers ...

A sharp spike in Greenland temperatures since 1995 showed the giant northern island 2.7 degrees hotter than its 20th-century average, the warmest in more than 1,000 years, according to new ice core ...

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - A study of Greenland's icesheet has revealed that a vast store of planet-warming methane appears to be more stable than thought, easing fears of a rapid rise in temperatures, a ...

It sounds like something out of science fiction: In the late 1950s, the US Army carved a tiny “city” into the Greenland ice sheet, 800 miles from the North Pole. It had living facilities, and ...
