Global warming is not an unknown concept even to the masses now. Its effect on ice-sheets in Earth's polar regions is well known. The Arctic is already warming up three times faster than other regions in the world.

Scientists world over have been unanimous in declaring these occurrences as a result of human caused climate change. Turbulent rains have caused massive floods in Central China and Europe; historic heat waves blew through western Canada.

Global warming is already an issue that has started showing effects like devastating cyclones, floods to name just two. In spite of global efforts, the amount of Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is not at the desired level.

With extreme weather killing more than 150 people in Europe and searing heat across parts of North America, the debate around climate change has grown more fierce in recent weeks.

Expert says warming link to Europe floods 'plausible'

According to a new study, parts of the Amazon rainforest are now releasing more carbon dioxide than they absorb, disrupting an important balancing act that signals a worsening of the climate crisis.

A new study has revealed that an area of the Arctic Ocean, which is critical for the survival of polar bears is becoming vulnerable to climate change. Deemed as the "last ice area", the area has suffered record melting last summer, says the new study.

Global warming may have already reached an irreversible tipping point, according to the scientist who conducted the largest-ever Arctic expedition. "The disappearance of summer sea ice in the Arctic is one of the first landmines in this minefield, one of the tipping points that we set off first when we push warming too far," said Professor Markus Rex.

A countrywide campaign to save Ghana's diminishing forest reserves kicked off with a major drive to plant five million trees. The government offered free seedlings to people from all walks of life, including celebrities, politicians, lawmakers, traditional leaders, and schoolchildren, as part of the "Green Ghana" campaign.

Some environmental solutions are win-win, helping to rein in global warming and protecting biodiversity, too. But others address one crisis at the expense of the other.

Our response to climate change is missing something big, scientists say

A Republican member of the US House of Representatives inquired at a congressional hearing on Tuesday about what can only be considered a novel approach to reversing the effects of climate change.

The risks posed by climate change encompass immediate disasters like earthquakes and floods. The crisis is essentially a slow killer, which has now picked up pace owing to the rising temperatures across the globe.

We could lose these species if climate change heats Earth by over 1.5° Celsius

Iceland's glaciers have lost around 750 square kilometres (290 square miles), or seven per cent of their surface, since the turn of the millennium due to global warming, a study published on Monday showed.

More than one-third of all deaths in the world are caused due to global warming. According to a new study, 37 percent of all heat-related deaths in the recent summer periods were caused due to global warming.

Study: Global warming leads to 1 in 3 heat-related deaths worldwide

An Australian court held that the environment minister is morally responsible to the next generation for the effects of climate change. Is climate litigation the only way to hold governments accountable? Palki Sharma gets you a report.

Arctic countries on Thursday pledged to fight global warming, which is happening three times faster in the Far North, and to preserve peace in the region as its geopolitical importance rises.

UK's COP26 President Alok Sharma said on Friday that the world must act now to slow global warming otherwise there will be a climate catastrophe. He also said that if we do not act now, the science tells us these effects will become more frequent and more brutal, that we will witness a scale of global catastrophe the likes of which the world has not seen.

Limiting global warming to 1.5°C could halve how much sea levels rise due to melting ice sheets this century, according to a major new study modelling how Earth's frozen spaces will respond to ever-increasing greenhouse gas emissions.

1.5C warming cap could 'halve' sea level rise from melting ice

The melt was significantly impacting sea levels by about 0.74 millimetres a year, or 21% of overall sea level rise observed during the period.

As climate changes, study finds world's glaciers melting faster

Climate change is the punching bag of world politics and is the footnote of every joint diplomatic statement. When rivals cannot find common ground, they talk about climate instead.

Climate change: The action is missing despite the high-profile summits

Global warming needs no explanation. The threat of sea levels rising due to melting polar ice caps is well known. The rising sea levels are expected to cause much trouble for shoreline cities in coming decades.

Scary: Doomsday glacier may be melting faster than expected

The United States climate envoy John Kerry will hold talks with Indian leaders during an Asian tour starting on Thursday in an effort to narrow differences on climate change goals to slow global warming.

US climate envoy heads to India to lift 'climate ambition'

Despite long-standing disagreements that have affected the bilateral relationship, United States is 'hopeful working with China' to tackle climate change.
