It’s one of the most pressing questions facing climate scientists today: how vulnerable are the vast ice caps on Greenland and Antarctica to rising temperatures? An unfathomable amount of ice is ...

Picture a figure skater gracefully spinning on the ice with their arms tucked tightly around their head. As they shift their ...

The impacts of human-caused climate change are so overwhelming they’re actually messing with time, according to new research. Polar ice melt caused by global warming is changing the speed of Earth’s ...

Melting polar ice is slowing the Earth’s rotation, but not enough to offset an even greater acceleration caused by changes in Earth’s molten core. As a result, scientists say the planet is spinning ...

As polar ice melts, water moves from the poles toward the equator — making our Earth bulkier and rotate slower. Think humans play a relatively small role in how Earth moves in space? It turns out ...

A team of the world’s best ice and climate researchers studied a handful of recently publicized engineering concepts for protecting Earth’s polar ice caps and found that none of them are likely to ...

What would you do with extra time in the day? Squeeze in that workout? Finally dust your living room? Maybe, like me, you’d simply opt to get some more sleep. Turns out our days are getting longer — ...
