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.

Greenland's Melting Ice Transforming Geography Faster Than Diplomacy
Greenland ranks eighth globally in rare earth reserves, hosting two of the world's largest known deposits.

Study Reveals Greenland's Ice Completely Melted During Past Warm Period, Highlighting Future Risks
Recent scientific studies have revealed that a portion of Greenland's vast ice sheet completely disappeared during a naturally warm period about 7,000 years ago.

Greenland's Melting Glaciers Feed Ocean Life, Study Finds
A new NASA-led study reveals that Greenland’s melting glaciers are fueling life in the Arctic Ocean. Each summer, massive freshwater plumes from glaciers like Jakobshavn drag deep-sea nutrients upward, boosting phytoplankton growth by up to 40%. These microscopic organisms form the base of the marine food web and play a key role in carbon absorpt...

What Ancient Ice Sheets Can Tell Us About Future Sea Level Rise
When visiting Godrevy beach on the north Cornish coast, most people look out to sea at the lighthouse, surfers and seals rather than the cliffs behind.

Greenland's Ice Melted 17 Times Faster Than Average In May During Heatwave
For Greenland's indigenous communities, the warmer temperatures and melting ice affect their ability to hunt on the ice, posing a threat to their livelihood and traditional way of life.

Greenland's Melting Ice Caps Reveal The True Extent Of Climate Change
In recent decades this territory 80 per cent of which is covered with ice has recorded a loss of frozen mass that outpaced previous estimates by 20 per cent.

Major Ice Sheets May Already Be Past The Point Of No Return: Study
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are melting fast, and the process may be impossible to stop, a new study has warned.

Greenland’s Melting Glaciers Expose 1,620 km of New Coastline Since 2000
Over the past 20 years, Greenland’s glaciers have melted enough to expose 1,620 kilometres of new coastline, altering the Arctic’s geography. Satellite data from 2000 to 2020 tracked these changes, showing significant ice loss. The study also identified 35 newly exposed islands, some of which remain unclaimed on existing maps. Scientists warn o...
