Imagine the world without Antarctica's ice sheets. If Antarctica were to melt entirely, it would trigger an unprecedented rise in sea levels, potentially flooding vast swaths of the Earth. Antarctica ...

Even if the world sustains today’s level of warming, at 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2 degrees Fahrenheit), it could still trigger rapid ice sheet retreat and catastrophic sea level rise, the ...

For around 2,000 years, global sea levels hardly varied. That changed in the twentieth century. Sea levels started rising and have not stopped since — and now, the pace is accelerating.

May 20 (UPI) --Rising sea levels caused by man-made climate change will see hundreds of millions of people forced to flee inland from coasts even if the rise in the global temperature stays within ...

The researchers found that compact “scrub” mangroves, dominated by Rhizophora mangle, kept absorbing about 294 grams of ...

Earth’s major climate goal is too warm for the polar ice sheets, study says. If Earth stays at its current levels of warming — below policymakers’ goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius — polar ice ...

The world’s ice sheets are on course for runaway melting, leading to multiple feet of sea level rise and “catastrophic” migration away from coastlines, even if the world pulls off the ...

According to the study, the world should prepare for many feet of sea level rise over the coming centuries.“You don’t slow sea level rise at 1.5; in fact, you see quite a rapid acceleration ...
