For years climate change deniers have brought up the argument of sea ice expansion to challenge the theory that the world is warming. But an international team of researchers found that the mysterious phenomenon may have an explanation: natural variability. Australia and U.S. climate scientists believe that they have evidence that the thickening and expansion of sea ice in the Antarctic are … [Read more...]
We Can Still Live a Good Life While Tackling Climate Change, Experts Say
On Wednesday, a panel of experts backed by the British government announced that all humans can lead a good lifestyle and still be able to tackle climate change by 2050 if they agree on following several steps The experts based their statement on an online app called the ‘global calculator,’ which was also released Wednesday.

The Violent Snowstorms Sweeping the Northeast Are Linked to Global Warming
Scientists recommend that climate change skeptics don’t be over thrilled with the devastating blizzard howling across the East Coast because the event does NOT prove that climate change theory is a bedtime story. On the contrary, violent snowstorms support the theory and researchers have solid scientific evidence. We all know that the West coast has torrential rainfalls, the Midwest gets swept … [Read more...]
Polar Bears Are Changing Habitat To Colder Regions Due to Global Warming
It seems that polar bears and other animals from the Arctic are leaving their current location and move towards colder regions. According to a new study the animals are trying to adapt to the climate change and the effects this has on their natural habitat, such as the melting of the ice. According to Elizabeth Peacock, a researcher at the Geological Society, individual Arctic animals are not … [Read more...]
NOAA Report Shows the Arctic Is Melting at Record Speed
On Wednesday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released a new report showing that the Arctic is melting two times faster than any other region on the planet. NOAA researchers say that the alarming melting rate of Arctic ice is caused by the darkish parts of the Arctic sea that now absorb even more solar energy, warm the area up and accelerate the overall melting … [Read more...]
Antarctica Melting Rate Has Tripled, NASA Reveals
NASA researchers have just made public a worrying fact about the way the Antarctic ice is melting. Scientists said that the Antarctica melting rate has tripled since the last time they checked. The latest study was done at the University of California at the Irvine and National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The researchers used data gathered in the past 21 years and the study was able … [Read more...]

Promised CO2 Cuts Insufficient to Prevent Climate Warming, UN Report
Without taking appropriate action in the following period, pollution will reach critical levels by 2070, according to a UN report called “The Emissions Gap Report 2014” published on Wednesday. Without a couple of notable exceptions, all the countries pledged to reduce their carbon emissions in the next several decades. According to the report, even if those pledges will be honored, it will not … [Read more...]
Alarming Global Warming: Warmest Ocean Temperatures Ever Recorded
Between 2000 and 2013 the global ocean surface temperature rise paused, despite increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. This period, referred to as the Global Warming Hiatus, raised a lot of public and scientific curiosity. But unfortunately as of April 2014 ocean warming has picked up speed again. The 2014 global ocean warming is mainly a consequence of the North Pacific, which scientists … [Read more...]
