Climate Skeptics Remain Unpersuaded by Extra-warm 2010

Remember 2010? U.S. and international scientists reckon it tied for the warmest year on record, supporting findings of unequivocal global climate change, but despite the evidence climate skeptics remain unconvinced. Those who study the climate skeptic position say this raises …

Decades of Data Show Troposphere Is Warming Too

Not only is Earth’s surface warming, but the troposphere — the lowest level of the atmosphere, where weather occurs — is heating up too, U.S. and British meteorologists reported Monday. In a review of four decades of data on troposphere …

Ten Key Indicators Show ‘Global Warming is Undeniable’

Melting glaciers, more humid air and eight other key indicators, show that global warming is undeniable, scientists said Wednesday, citing a new comprehensive review of the last decade of climate data. Without addressing why this is happening, the researchers said …

Scant Arctic Ice Could Mean a Summer ‘Double Whammy’

Scant ice over the Arctic Sea this winter could mean a “double whammy” of powerful ice-melt next summer, a top U.S. climate scientist said Thursday. “It’s not that the ice keeps melting, it’s just not growing very fast,” said Mark …

U.S. Unveils ‘Spy Images’ of Arctic Ice in Rare Move Linked to Climate Change

In an unusually speedy move, a U.S. government agency released more than a thousand intelligence images of Arctic ice just a few hours after the National Academy of Sciences recommended the action to help scientists study the impact of climate …

Greenland Ice Sheet Melt Could Fuel Severe US Sea Level Rise

New York, Boston and other cities on North America’s northeast coast could face a rise in sea level this century that would exceed forecasts for the rest of the planet if Greenland’s ice sheet keeps melting as fast as it …
