Greenland's ice sheet melted more last year than any year previously recorded, according to a new study. Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, is the world's largest island.

Greenland's ice sheet melted faster than ever before in 2019, study says

Polluted water prevented from entering the lake with high ecological sensitivity. Local water quality was gradually improved. This is the story of Huzhou city in East China.

Greenland's ice sheet may have shrunk past the point of return, with the ice likely to melt away no matter how quickly the world reduces climate-warming emissions

A new research has found that rising temperatures are set to cause specific annihilation in poorer, hotter parts of the world that will battle to adjust to terrible conditions that will slaughter huge numbers of individuals.

The last fully intact ice shelf in the Canadian Arctic has collapsed, losing more than 40% of its area in just two days at the end of July, researchers said. The Milne Ice Shelf is at the fringe of Ellesmere Island, in the sparsely populated northern Canadian territory of Nunavut.

There has been a drastic rise in the population of emperor penguins in the world. Satellite observations have found nearly a dozen new colonies of the iconic species in Antarctica.

Two Canadian ice caps situated on the Hazen Plateau of northeastern Ellesmere Island in Nunavut, have disappeared, as per NASA satellite imagery. In 2017, a paper by National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) was published in The Cryosphere, which predicted that the St.

Hopes that the rise in average global temperatures by 2100 might be capped below 2.5C can be all but ruled out if greenhouse gas emissions continue at the current rate, new research reassessing the atmosphere's sensitivity to CO2 suggests.

Study: Earth's atmosphere more sensitive to CO2 emissions than thought

Climate change could wipe out the polar by 2100, according to a report. "It is extremely likely that we are going to lose almost every polar bear population in the world, with the possible exception of one in the very high Arctic as far north as you go, before the end of this century” Peter Molnar from the department of Biological Sciences at the University of Toronto, Scarborough, said.

Throughout this week, Jupiter will be at its brightest in the sky. The planet will reach “opposition” last night (July 14), which implies that the planet will now be directly opposite the sun in the sky, and the nearest to Earth.

Jupiter is currently emitting more light than our brightest star Sirius!

Methane, a planet-warming gas responsible for a major portion of Earth’s global warming has taken up a lot more space than expected over the last decade. An international study from July 15 has ascertained that the emissions of this poisonous gas have risen by at least nine per cent in the last ten years.

Emissions of planet-warming methane have risen by 9% in the last decade

Scientists in Italy are investigating the mysterious appearance of pink glacial ice in the Alps, caused by algae that accelerate the effects of climate change.

This is because of its location on the remote, high-altitude region known as the Antarctic plateau, one of the coldest places on Earth.

South Pole warmed 7 times than rest of Antarctica

The South Pole which is considered to be the coldest place on earth has warmed more than 3 times the global rate in the last 30 years. Watch report.

A new report paints a grim picture of the future of koalas in Australia. In the Australian state of New South Wales, there may be no koalas left by 2050. The report claims that without urgent government intervention, the territory will lose all its koala population, many of whom were killed in the long-running bushfires that engulfed Australia recently.

Habitat loss in an Australian state may drive koalas to extinction by 2050

Europe has been hit by a heatwave with temperatures touching 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
