According to a recent research on the world's seas and climate change, Arctic ice levels have hit historic lows. Between 1979 and 2020, the average amount of sea ice extent in the Arctic, defined as the region of ocean with at least some ice, dropped by a surface area nearly equivalent to Greenland.

United Nations chief Antonio Guterres has warned that a failure to cut global emissions is setting the world on a “catastrophic” path to 2.7 degrees Celsius heating. Watch this video for more details.

UN warns nations over climate plans

As the world continues to be battered by the effects of climate change investment is growing into new solutions like capturing and storing carbon - one of the main contributors to global warming. Iceland is now the home of Orca, the world's first and largest direct air capture and storage plant which is aiming to remove 4000 tonnes of carbon from the air each year.

Can carbon capture help solve global warming?

The use of animal meat causes twice the pollution compared to the production of plant-based food, with the global production of food accounting for a third of all planet-heating gases emitted by human activity, according to a new study.

Meat alone accounts for nearly 60% of greenhouse gases from food production, claims study

Rain poured on the highest point of the Greenland ice sheet for the first time in recorded history in August. It didn't even make the news. However, rain in a country known for its severe cold foreshadows a future that would alter global coastlines and submerge entire towns.

Experts warn first-ever rain in Greenland ice sheet shows risks of climate change

World's largest plant that sucks carbon dioxide directly from air and deposits it deep underground to be mineralised started operating in Iceland on Wednesday, said the company behind the technology.

Global warming is already affecting people's health so much that emergency action on climate change cannot be put on hold while the world deals with the Covid-19 pandemic, medical journals across the globe warned on Monday.

A new study has revealed that changes in the Arctic are contributing to the extreme winter weather in parts of the United States. The study, published in the journal Science shows Arctic Circle is melting due to climate change which has disturbed the circular pattern of winds called the Polar Vortex.

Up to 95 percent of Earth's ocean surface will have changed by the end of the century unless humanity reins in its carbon emissions, according to research published Thursday.

Study says ocean surface climates may disappear by 2100

Troubled with rising temperatures, the calls for naming of the heatwaves are rising among the scientists in Greece. The scientists of the country have begun discussing the need to name and rank heatwaves.
