Days Are Getting Slightly Longer As Earth's Spin Is Slowing At An "Unprecedented Rate"
Between 2000 and 2020, Earth's day length increased by 1.33 milliseconds per century due to climate-related mass redistribution.

The Eye-Opening Science Of Close Encounters With Polar Bears
For the last four decades, experts from the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI) have been keeping tabs on the health and movement of polar bears in the Svalbard archipelago, halfway between Norway and the North Pole.

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.

The Stunning Reason Why Our Days Are Becoming Longer
It's well known that as far as the climate crisis goes, time is of the essence. Now a study out Monday shows that the melting of the polar ice caps is causing our planet to spin more slowly, increasing the length of days at an "unprecedented" rate.

Did Mars Ever Look Like Earth? NASA Scientist Answers
Mars is quite similar to Earth, as per a NASA scientist. In a video interview, astrobiologoist Dr. Becky McCauley Rench said that the Red Planet wasn't as dry always, as we see it today. As per NASA's own website, “Mars, like Earth, has seasons, polar ice caps, volcanoes, canyons, and weather.”

Radar Images Reveal Mars Is Coming Out Of An Ice Age
An analysis of radar images that peered inside the polar ice caps of Mars shows that Earth's neighbor is coming out of an ice age that is part of an ongoing cycle of climate change, scientists said on Thursday.

Polar Bears Face Steep Declines Because of Melting Sea Ice: US Study
Imperiled polar bears will see a population crash in most parts of the Arctic Ocean if global greenhouse gas emissions continue at current rates, causing accelerated melting of the sea ice the bruins depend on for survival, US scientists said on Wednesday.
