The planet’s southern ice cap appears to be shrinking at an alarming rate, scientists are now warning. The rate of ice loss on and around Antarctica could be accelerating, a team of Australian scientists told […]
An ocean heat wave like nothing seen before hit the southwest Pacific in 2024, spawning the busiest cyclone season the region has seen in recorded history. That’s the conclusion of a new report by the […]
Scientists have long worried that high alpine mountain species like pikas and some species of martens will lose their fragile habitats to global warming. As temperatures rose, they argued, these species are being forced higher […]
