The longest — and probably largest — proof of our current climate catastrophe ever caught on camera.
The longest — and probably largest — proof of our current climate catastrophe ever caught on camera. It was the largest such event ever filmed. Exposure Labs Photographer James Balog and his crew were hanging out near a glacier when their camera captured something extraordinary. They were in Greenland, gathering footage from the time-lapse they’d […]
Climate Change Is Pushing Greenland Over the Edge
Whether the ice cap in western Greenland grows or shrinks depends on a balance between snow accumulation and melting. In the past, warm periods increased snowfall which caused it to grow. Today, melting is winning. Photo by Ruben Ramos/Alamy Stock Photo Climate Change Is Pushing Greenland Over the Edge New data from Greenland shows that […]
Greenland’s largest glaciers nearing rates of melt expected in ‘worst-case scenario’
Greenland’s largest glaciers nearing rates of melt expected in ‘worst-case scenario’ Greenland’s three biggest glaciers added the equivalent of around 8mm to global sea levels from 1880 to 2012, study says Photo of Jakobshavn Isbræ, one of Greenland’s largest glaciers (Shfaqat Abbas Khan, DTU Space Denmark) Greenland’s largest glaciers are currently melting at levels close to what […]
Pounding Heat Clobbers Greenland
Pounding Heat Clobbers Greenland Photograph Source: Ralf Roletschek – GFDL 1.2 Greenland is one of the biggest targets for global warming, in part, because it’s so big it’s hard to miss. And sure enough, only recently crazy halting weather with inordinate hot temperature hit Greenland bull’s-eye, dead-on with one helluva meltdown. That’s bad news for pretty […]
“Unprecedented” Arctic Wildfires Visible From Space As ‘Global Cooling’ Looms
“Unprecedented” Arctic Wildfires Visible From Space As ‘Global Cooling’ Looms Numerous wildfires have been ravaging the Arctic for weeks following the hottest June ever recorded on Earth. Now, the fires are so huge and intense, the smoke can literally be seen from space. As RT reports, satellite images show more than 100 long-lived wildfires with huge plumes […]
Factcheck: What Greenland ice cores say about past and present climate change
Factcheck: What Greenland ice cores say about past and present climate change A misleading graph purporting to show that past changes in Greenland’s temperatures dwarf modern climate change has been circling the internet since at least 2010. Based on an early Greenland ice core record produced back in 1997, versions of the graph have, variously, mislabeled the […]
The Arctic Heats Up in the Dead of Winter
The Arctic Heats Up in the Dead of Winter Photo by NOAA Photo Library | CC BY 2.0 Every once in a while a climatic event hits that forces people to sit down to catch their breath. Along those lines, abnormal Arctic heat waves in the dead of winter may force scientists to revaluate downwards […]
Shock impacts hit Greenland’s ice
Shock impacts hit Greenland’s ice An aerial view of icebergs floating in Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord. Image: Mark Garten/UN Photo New research indicates that melting of the Northern Hemisphere’s biggest ice sheet is being accelerated by the seismic impact of waves crashing against Greenland’s coastline. LONDON, 14 May, 2016 – Seismic waves that race through Greenland’s bedrock may […]
Abrupt Sea Level Rise Looms As Increasingly Realistic Threat
Abrupt Sea Level Rise Looms As Increasingly Realistic Threat Ninety-nine percent of the planet’s freshwater ice is locked up in the Antarctic and Greenland ice caps. Now, a growing number of studies are raising the possibility that as those ice sheets melt, sea levels could rise by six feet this century, and far higher in the […]
Cloud blanket warms up melting icecap

Rasmussen via Flickr New study shows that up to 30% of the Greenland icecap melting is due to cloud cover that is helping to raise temperatures − and accelerate sea level rise. LONDON, 30 January, 2016 – Researchers have […]
Deep concerns as climate impacts on Gulf Stream flow
Deep concerns as climate impacts on Gulf Stream flow Ocean scientists find evidence of an increasing slowdown in the Atlantic’s “invisible river” that could seriously affect weather and sea levels in the US and Europe. LONDON, 25 March, 2015 − Climate scientists have once again confirmed an alarmingslowdown in the circulation of the Atlantic Ocean − the process that drives […]
Oil Industry Withdraws From High Cost Areas
Oil Industry Withdraws From High Cost Areas The oil industry is pulling back from some marginal areas of operation, slashing jobs and spending, and retrenching in the face of the ongoing slump in oil markets. Signs of a shrinking footprint are beginning to pop up across the globe. Norway’s Statoil has let three of its […]
