sea ice

Bodies and minds are just as affected by climate change as sea ice and forests, says University of Alberta scientist Sherilee Harper.

The year rapid, dramatic change hit climate scientists like a "punch in the guts."

Clouds way up in the stratosphere act like a blanket, trapping heat in the Arctic and Antarctica. That could help explain why models keep underestimating how fast they’re warming.

New research suggests that ancient polar bear populations shrank as sea ice dwindled, adding weight to concerns about the predator's future as climate change melts the Arctic.

Scientists fear global heating may have shifted the region into a new era of disappearing ice with far-reaching consequences for the world’s climate and sea levels.

Global warming has moved from the North Pole to your backyard — and so did its symbols.

Now that July's sizzling numbers are all in, the European climate monitoring organization made it official: July 2023 was Earth's hottest month on record by a wide margin.

The algae Melosira arctica is the foundation of the food chain, and its contamination could have major consequences for ecosystems and the climate.

Warming seas and dwindling sea ice are bringing new species to Arctic waters, a potentially irreversible tipping point for the ecosystem.

The Biden administration’s approval of a massive oil development in northern Alaska commits the U.S. to yet another decades-long crude project even as scientists urgently warn that only a halt to more fossil fuel emissions can stem climate change.

The colony of about 500 birds was seen in a remote region where they face an existential threat due to global heating.

A new report from dozens of international scientists says it's inevitable the Arctic will lose its entire summer sea cover at least once over the next generation and probably a lot more often than that.

The birds featured in March of the Penguins film face almost complete annihilation by the end of the century as Antarctic sea ice is lost.

New data has revealed extraordinary rates of global heating in the Arctic, up to seven times faster than the global average.

As ice melts, navigable routes have opened in ways that were not expected until the middle of this century.
