Alaska sees record temperatures in heatwave
An "all-time high" temperature record has been set in the US state of Alaska, despite much of the country sitting in the Arctic circle. Temperatures peaked at 32.22 Celsius (90F) on 4 July at an airport

Climate of fear
The integrity of climate research has taken a very public battering in recent months. Scientists must now emphasize the science, while acknowledging that they are in a street fight. (Editorial)

Climate change and its impact on the Himalayan glaciers
In 2004, I visited the Chorabari Glacier on an expedition under the leadership of M. Kuhle. Thus, I have read the paper by R. K. Chaujar with great interest1. In agreement with Chaujar1, we also recognized different latero-frontal moraines around Kedarnath. Because younger glacial history was not the primary aim of our expedition, we did not differentiate

No doubt, Himalayan glaciers are melting fast: Pachauri
Rahi Gaikwad Mumbai: Rajendra Pachauri, head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which came under fire for an error in predicting that the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035, said on Tuesday that the contentions of snowfall discrediting the meltdown were incorrect and there was no ambiguity that the glaciers were melting.
