Worldwide, 2012 was among the 10 warmest years on record according to this 2012 State of the Climate report released by the American Meteorological Society (AMS).
LONDON: Global warming five million years ago may have caused parts of Antarctica's large ice sheets to melt and sea levels to rise by approximately 20 metres, a new study has claimed.
Global warming five million years ago may have caused parts of Antarctica’s large ice sheets to melt and sea levels to rise by approximately 20 metres, a new study has claimed.
Each degree celsius rise in global temperatures is likely to raise world's sea levels by more than 2 metres within the next 2,000 years, a new study has warned.
A satellite has detected that 300 billion tonnes of ice is being lost every year from the Antarctic and Greenland glaciers, dramatically increasing sea levels around the world.
Even as global warming and climatic changes remain on the forefront of international debates, observations by the Geological Survey of India (GSI) have found a reduction in the rate of glacial snou
Antarctic summer ice melt is now occurring 10 times faster than it did 600 years ago, with ice loss speeding up the most since mid-20th century, new research has warned.
The 1000-year Antarctic Peninsula climate reconstruction was published in the journal Nature Geoscience. Summer ice melt affects the stability of Antarctic ice shelves and glaciers.
Summer ice in the Antarctic is melting 10 times quicker than it was 600 years ago, with the most rapid melt occurring in the last 50 years, a joint Australian-British study showed Monday.
The ozone layer acts like a shield in safeguarding the Earth by preventing the harmful ultraviolet radiations from entering into the atmosphere. Reported damage to the ozone layer in 1985 was a significant milestone in Antarctic science research. The research work played a significant role in generating international socio-political debate on this great environmental crisis.
