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.

The Science Behind Thermals: How Warm Air Rises And Creates Buoyancy
This effect wins out over warm air rising. The warm air in a thermal will cool as it rises, until it reaches the temperature of the air around it and is no longer buoyant.

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...
