In the last few years, the world has experienced extreme weather, record temperatures and rapid ice melt. Where are we on key climate indicators? This week the UN’s climate science body is releasing a major report on the climate changes…

Arctic ice has seen an ‘irreversible’ thinning since 2007, study says – The Washington Post

Arctic sea ice declined dramatically in 2007 and has never recovered. New research suggests the loss was a fundamental change unlikely to be reversed this century, if ever — perhaps proof of the sort of climactic tipping point that scientists…

The UN’s climate handbook for a ‘liveable’ future – Al Jazeera English

Earth is hotter than it has been in 125,000 years but deadly heatwaves, storms and floods amplified by global warming could be a foretaste as planet-heating fossil fuels put a “liveable” future at risk. So concludes the United Nations Intergovernmental…

With global warming of just 1.2°C, why has the weather gotten so extreme? – Yale Climate Connections

My cellphone chirps with a text message. I glance down. “Oh no!” I think. “It’s from Bob.” Fellow meteorologist Bob Henson has been my partner for many years in extreme weather blogging, and I always read his text messages with…

Antarctic ice on the run, with a 45-year low

Antarctic ice is melting. This February, it’s at its lowest extent in the 45-year satellite record. Also, a long-term melt study suggests a surprising speed-up.

The post Antarctic ice on the run, with a 45-year low first appeared on EarthSky.
