Earth’s ability to reflect sunlight is diminishing due to drastic melting of sea ice in Arctic Ocean, a new study says.

Judgement of the National Green Tribunal in the matter of Sher Singh Vs State of HP dated 06/02/2014 regarding tourism impacts on satellite spots of major tourist destination at Manali in the north-western Himalayas which are mostly spread in snow (environment) and include Rohtang Pass, Marhi, Kothi, Salang Nala apart from other spots. Heavy tourism, besides being a boon to the economy of Himachal Pradesh, is also the cause for adverse impacts on ecology and environment of the State.

A number of floating ice shelves in Antarctica are at risk of disappearing entirely in the next 200 years, as global warming reduces their snow cover, a new study has warned.

Their collapse would enhance the discharge of ice into the oceans and increase the rate at which sea-level rises, researchers said.

The average temperature of Earth maintained its warming trend in 2013, despite seasonal and regional variations that included a shrinking ice cap in the Arctic and a massively growing one in the so

Amid controversy and debate over the precise impact of global warming on the Himalayas, glaciologists analysed a massive cache of data on the mountain range and have concluded that it lost 13 per c

Climate change has a direct bearing on Tawang, the holy town in Arunachal Pradesh along the India–China border. Tawang draws highest number of tourists from within and outside India for its unspoiled natural beauty and famous 400–year–old Tawang monastery.

The winter has been shifting from November–January to December–February, observed by Dr Monalisa Sen and Dr Jayahari KM of New Delhi–based NGO, InsPIRE Network for Environment (INE).

A holistic perspective on changing rainfall-driven flood risk is provided for the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Economic losses from floods have greatly increased, principally driven by the expanding exposure of assets at risk. It has not been possible to attribute rain-generated peak streamflow trends to anthropogenic climate change over the past several decades. Projected increases in the frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall, based on climate models, should contribute to increases in precipitation-generated local flooding (e.g. flash flooding and urban flooding).

At a time when glaciers are melting at an alarming pace, an SOS buried in a bottle 54 years ago in the Canadian Arctic, and unearthed now, sent a distress signal about the world's rapidly disappear

Experts representing six regional countries agreed to forge an alliance on climate change issues at a three-day conference, which concluded in a hotel here on Thursday.

New Zealand's renowned glaciers in the Southern Alps will shrink up to 60 percent by the end of the century as the earth's climate continues to warm, scientists forecast Monday.
