On the surface, NASA’s new satellite imagery appears to drop a bombshell: Antarctica, the icy giant that contains 90% of the globe’s fresh water, has been accumulating ice since 2021. This appears to run counter to the incessant drumbeat of global warming but scientists caution that this is far from a reversal of climate change. ...
Below the frozen waters of Antarctica, there is a silent crisis brewing one that has the potential to radiate throughout the entire marine food chain. Antarctic krill, small shrimp-like animals no larger than a human finger, are the uncelebrated champions of the Southern Ocean. Antarctic krill supply food to whales, penguins, and seals, sustain entire ...
Global warming, a critical aspect of climate change, is driving significant alterations in Earth’s climate by increasing average global temperatures. This phenomenon poses a severe threat to biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems and endangering countless species around the world. This article delves into the impact of global warming on species, focusing on how rising temperatures, habitat changes, ...

Only four years ago, climate change ranked as the most important issue on voters’ minds, prompting lawmakers to ...
Arctic sea ice is disappearing at an alarming rate due to climate change, with scientists predicting the first ice-free summer could occur before 2030. In response, researchers are testing innovative technologies to slow ice loss and potentially regrow Arctic sea ice, raising questions about the feasibility and ethics of climate intervention. The Technology Behind Ice ...
In a breakthrough moment for global climate justice, a landmark report has put numbers on the extraordinary cost imposed on our planet by the world’s biggest companies. Scientists at Dartmouth College mapped out $28 trillion of climate damages back to the emissions of 111 specific companies, leaving the door open for a new age of ...
