UN Confirms 2015-2025 As Hottest Decade On Record
An increase in the concentrations of greenhouse gases "to their highest level in at least 800,000 years" has "upset this equilibrium," says the WMO.

Himalayan Glaciers Melting Twice As Fast, Threatening Billions, Claims Report
Himalayan glaciers that provide a vital source of fresh water for around two billion people are melting twice as quickly as in...

Viral Video Of Ice Caves And Frozen Rivers In Ladakh Looks Straight From 'Game Of Thrones'
Ladakh hosts rare natural ice caves and frozen rivers in winter, offering a surreal icy landscape similar to Arctic regions. Find out how you can visit them.

5,000-Year-Old Whale Harpoons Found In Brazil Could Rewrite History Of Ancient Whaling
This discovery sheds new light on understanding the lives and hunting practices of ancient people who lived along the coasts of South America thousands of years ago.

New Study Explains Why Earth’s Poles Are Heating Up at an Alarming Rate
The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere on Earth, and new research reveals why. Using aircraft and ground measurements, scientists found that openings in sea ice boost cloud formation while pollution from oil fields alters Arctic chemistry. Together, these processes form powerful feedback loops that trap heat and speed ice loss. The findings hig...

Arctic Report Card Flags Fast Warming, Record Heat and New Risks
The 2025 Arctic Report Card shows the Arctic is warming faster than expected, with record heat, shrinking ice, stronger storms, and rusting rivers. Scientists warn that rising temperatures are reshaping ecosystems, threatening water safety, and increasing risks for Arctic communities. The changes highlight how quickly climate impacts are unfolding,...

Antarctica Sees Similar Climate Change Effects As Greenland: Study
The planet's warming climate is having effects in Antarctica that increasingly resemble those observed in the Arctic, meaning global sea levels could rise faster that previously predicted, Danish researchers warned.

Sea Ice To Ocean Currents, Antarctica Is Undergoing Abrupt Changes
Melting sea ice allows oceans to warm more rapidly, which melts more sea ice. Once triggered, they can be difficult or even impossible to reverse on timescales meaningful to humans.

New Climate Model Uncovers Detailed Regional Effects of Global Warming
A high-resolution climate model reveals that a 1°C global temperature rise could drive Arctic warming up to 5°C and intensify rainfall extremes in regions like the Himalayas and Andes. The simulation offers vital regional insights for climate adaptation, disaster risk management, and infrastructure planning in vulnerable zones, including small is...

Major Disruption Has Left Arctic Polar Vortex Away from North Pole, Scientists Alert
As the polar vortex fades, temperatures in Northern Europe, portions of Asia, and the eastern United States will be below average. Temperatures for the last week of March were pretty normal across the eastern U.S., but the latest forecasts do predict increased chances of below-normal temperatures for the next week.
