Loss of ice in Antarctica caused by a warming ocean may result in rising global sea levels by three metres, warns a recent research.

Melting ice sheets in Antarctica caused by ocean warming could potentially increase global sea levels by three meters.

Human emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide are causing the Earth to warm. We know this, and we have known about the heat-trapping nature of these gases for over 100 years.

The amount of sea level rise that comes from the oceans warming and expanding has been underestimated, and is likely about twice as much as previously calculated, German researchers said on Monday.

Acknowledging that the Paris agreement on climate change is not perfect and not legally binding, US President Barack Obama said today that the mechanisms built into it will nevertheless hold every

OSLO: Global warming is likely to disrupt a natural cycle of ice ages and contribute to delaying the onset of the next big freeze until about 100,000 years from now, scientists said on Wednesday.

Researchers say that the Greenland ice sheet is quickly losing the ability to hinder sea level rise despite being known as a sponge for glacier meltwater.

The Greenland Ice Sheet has lost about 9,013 gigatonnes of water ice from 1900 to 2010 – and it’s dropping mass today at an increasing rate, an international team of scientists say.

NEW DELHI: Freshwater lakes across the world are rapidly warming due to changing climate change, a new study supported by NASA has found.
