Much of Bangkok could flood within the next two decades if global warming stays on its current trajectory, as sea levels rise and cyclones intensify, the World Bank said in a new report Wednesday.

At a time when unprecedented rain has resulted in havoc in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, the World Bank today came out with a report which states that another 2 to 4 degree celsius in the world average temperature may impact India’s rain pattern.

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

Shimla, May 29 : Experts from the Geological Survey of India (GSI) have advised the state government to go for control release of water from the Geepang Gath glacial lake in Lahaul to avoid a Parec

Scientists have obtained the longest ice core ever from the Mount Everest, measuring 142 metres, along with two other samples to aid in the study of climate change and provide new insight into glob

Can you imagine Mount Everest without its snow and ice?

Scientists are struggling to explain a slowdown in climate change that has exposed gaps in their understanding and defies a rise in global greenhouse gas emissions.

Often focused on century-long trends, most climate models failed to predict that the temperature rise would slow, starting around 2000. Scientists are now intent on figuring out the causes and determining whether the respite will be brief or a more lasting phenomenon.

A study was carried out by Scientists of Jammu’s Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agriculture, Science and Technology to find decadal temperature trends across different zones of the state

The focus was to study the rise in temperature over a 10-year period for 30 years. The average high in summer and winter temperature could be 1.2°C to 1.5°C, which is not a good sign for the Himalayan region, says the study

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.
