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.

As many as 248 of 2,018 or 12.3% of Himalayan glaciers are "retreating" while 18 are advancing, environment minister, Prakash Javadekar told the Rajya Sabha on Monday in a written reply.

Melting of glaciers near the Earth's poles and the resulting rise in sea level is slowing down the Earth's rotation, thereby increasing the length of our days, a new study suggests.

Greenland's glaciers may be retreating far more quickly than expected.
