Antarctica Nears Irreversible Climate Tipping Point, Scientists Warn
Antarctica is approaching irreversible climate thresholds, scientists warn. Rapid melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, record-low sea ice, and collapsing ocean systems could raise global sea levels by over 3 m. These interconnected changes threaten coastal cities and ecosystems, urging immediate emission cuts to prevent cascading global consequ...

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...
