Extreme Glaciers Could Lose Most Of Their Ice If Global Warming Continues: Study
More than twice as much global glacier mass will remain if countries restrict temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to the warming level of 2.7 degrees Celsius resulting from the current policies, says a new study released.

Hindu Kush Himalaya Region May Lose 75% Ice By End Of Century: Study
The Hindu Kush Himalaya, where glaciers feed rivers supporting two billion people, could lose up to 75 per cent of its ice by the end of the century if global temperatures rise by 2 degrees Celsius, according to a new study.

NASA Study Shows Antarctic Ice Growth Despite Rising Global Temperatures: How It Happened
Researchers said the ice levels in Antarctica naturally fluctuate each year; however, the growth slowed down by early 2024.

"Planetary Threat": Scientists Exploring How To Beat Heat For Better Sleep
"Rising temperatures induced by climate change and urbanisation pose a planetary threat to human sleep, and therefore health, performance, and wellbeing," according to a 2024 review of scientific literature published in the journal Sleep Medicine.

NASA Reports 'Higher Than Expected' Sea Level Rise In 2024
NASA reports a higher-than-expected sea level rise in 2024, primarily due to thermal expansion of seawater, highlighting the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the devastating impacts of climate change.

4 Degree Celsius Rise In Temperature May Cut Global GDP By 40%: Study
A team of Australian researchers on Tuesday said that 4-degree Celsius rise in global temperatures would cut world GDP by around 40 per cent by 2100 - a sharp increase from previous estimates of around 11 per cent.

As Glaciers Melt, Risk Of Catastrophic Flash Floods Rises For Millions
In mountain ranges around the world, glaciers are melting as global temperatures rise. Europe's Alps and Pyrenees lost 40% of their glacier volume from 2000 to 2023.

Record High Temperatures In 2024 Caused Ice Loss, Rise In Sea Levels: UN
The report said other factors could also have driven global temperature rises last year, including changes in the solar cycle, a massive volcanic eruption and a decrease in cooling aerosols.

'Climate Whiplash' Hitting World's Cities Amid Rising Temperatures: Study
The weather in some of the world's most densely populated cities is swinging from droughts to floods and back again as rising temperatures play havoc with the global water cycle, a study commissioned by the charity WaterAid showed on Wednesday.

Global Sea Ice Cover At Record Low In February Amid Persistent Hot Streak
In February, temperatures spiked up to 11 degrees Celsius above average near the North Pole as the world continued its persistent heat streak, said Europe's climate monitor.

Greenland's Ice Sheet Approaches Dangerous Tipping Point Amid Rapid Melting
Greenland’s massive ice sheet is losing ice at an accelerating rate, with scientists warning that a global temperature rise of just 2°C could trigger irreversible collapse. The loss of 230 gigatons of ice per year is the estimated threshold for this tipping point. If melting continues at current rates, sea levels could rise by approximately 7 me...

Scientists Discover Declining Global Ocean Evaporation Amid Rising Temperatures
Recent research has revealed a decline in global ocean evaporation since 2008, challenging traditional climate models. Despite increasing sea surface temperatures, evaporation rates have decreased across two-thirds of the world's oceans. Scientists attribute this unexpected trend to reduced wind speeds, or "wind stilling," and shifts in atmospheric...

Extreme Arctic Warming Sees North Pole Temperatures Rise Above Freezing
A sharp rise in Arctic temperatures saw the North Pole exceed freezing, with readings 20 degree Celsius above normal. Scientists warn of accelerating ice loss and climate change impacts. The event, attributed to a weather system near Iceland, has raised concerns about Arctic amplification, which causes the region to warm nearly four times faster th...

Ocean Warming Rate Quadruples Over Four Decades, Accelerating Climate Change
New research highlights a troubling acceleration in ocean warming, with the rate of temperature rise quadrupling since the 1980s. According to a study in Environmental Research Letters, ocean surface temperatures now rise at 0.27°C per decade, up from 0.06°C. This rapid warming, driven by greenhouse gases like CO2 and methane, is worsening Earth'...

Climate-Driven Changes Reduce Agricultural Productivity in Central Europe, Claims New Study
Climate change has significantly impacted Central Europe's farmland, with over 50 percent of highly productive agricultural land already affected. A study combining historical data and climate projections highlights that rising temperatures and dry conditions have shifted fertile zones northward and westward. Regions like Slovakia, Austria and the ...
