Global warming could eventually bring about a new ice age on Earth, aided by organic carbon buried in the deep ocean, ...

UC Riverside researchers have discovered a piece that was missing in previous descriptions of the way Earth recycles its carbon. As a result, they believe that global warming can overcorrect into an ...

The circumstances that ended the last ice age, somewhere between 19,000 and 10,000 years ago, have been unclear. In particular, scientists aren't sure how carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, played into ...

In Switzerland, the Morteratsch-Pers glacier complex is rapidly shrinking. This ice cave, formed in 2023, marks a glacier gate where meltwater emerges. Without decisive climate action, Swiss glaciers ...

One of the consequences of climate change is that weather events are becoming more extreme. In counterintuitive ways, like ...

A deep Antarctic drill recovers sediments dating back 23 million years, offering rare insight into how ice sheets respond to global warming.

As my wood pile disappears, I’m reminded of what a friend said about global warming: “Twenty thousand years ago, this area was covered by a sheet of ice. Just which one of man’s activities do you ...

New research from the University of Copenhagen suggests that volcanic eruptions during the Ice Age may have triggered sudden climate change by disrupting the Atlantic Meridional Overturning ...

The Antarctic ice sheet does not behave as one single tipping element, but as a set of interacting basins with different critical thresholds. This is the finding of a new study by the Potsdam ...

GENEVA, May 28 (Reuters) - The world is expected to experience more record temperatures over the next five years, with Arctic warming predicted at more than three times the global average, a new ...
