Short affidavit on behalf of the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board (RSPCB) in terms of the National Green Tribunal order dated January 22, 2025. The application was registered suo motu by the NGT on the basis of a news item titled "Toxic kilns pollution Aravallis; wildlife and locals suffer" appearing …
New scientific studies show that the North Pole is gradually shifting towards the UK, as global warming is changing the way the Earth turns on its axis. Experts and scientists now believe the North Pole's movement is being caused by a shift in the distribution of water across the planet …
NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Global seas could rise nearly twice as much as previous, widely accepted estimates, according to a study published on Thursday saying low-lying cities face possible disaster by the end of the century. Sea levels could surge more than three feet (0.9 meter) by 2100 …
Melting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet could cause sea level to rise by twice as much as previous thought. Scientists say updated models show melting could contribute more than one metre in sea level rise by 2100. The research published in Nature is the first to successfully use sea level …
Vanishing Arctic sea ice. Dogged weather systems over Greenland. Far-flung surface ice melting on the massive island. 'Blocking-high' pressure systems spawn most of the warming that melts Greenland surface ice Rutgers study says. These dramatic trends and global sea-level rise are linked, according to a study coauthored by Jennifer Francis, …
Average sea levels are rising faster in China's coastal region than most other places in the world, affecting the coastal environment in various ways, the national marine authority said. Instead of only threatening the relocation of communities and homes in the short term, rising seas are also causing damage to …
Autumn brings no relief following a record-breaking summer driven by rapid global warming, the Climate Council report says Record hot spells in Australia this month blurred the line between summer and autumn in another sign of rapidly advancing global warming, a Climate Council report says. The first four days of …
The East Antarctic ice sheet is a 'sleeping giant' and the world is on track for massive sea level rises resulting from its melting due to the rising carbon dioxide levels, scientists warn. Research showed that if carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere continue increasing as predicted, the giant East …
The warming of Earth may not have directly caused all of the extreme weather events that have taken place in the past two decades, but climate change has in some way had an impact on them, a new report showed. A 10-person committee of the U.S. National Research Council has …
WELLINGTON, March 11 (Xinhua) -- The world is on track for massive sea level rises resulting from the melting of an Antarctic ice sheet if carbon dioxide emissions continue as predicted, a leading New Zealand expert said Friday. The melting of the giant East Antarctic ice sheet would raise the …
A new scientific study released Thursday has delivered yet another burst of bad news about Greenland — the vast northern ice sheet that contains 20 feet of potential sea level rise. The ice sheet is “darkening,” or losing its ability to reflect both visible and invisible radiation, as it melts …
Perched on a wild, windy promontory on the rugged tip of northwestern Tasmania, the tiny Cape Grim research station has been measuring airborne greenhouse gases since 1976. It is one of a handful of such stations in the world, and because the wind that reaches it has travelled more than …
Rapidly disappearing Arctic sea ice is about to set a new record after an “absurdly warm” winter at the top of the world. For the second year running, it will have grown to cover less of the Arctic Ocean than ever before. The revelation comes as scientists are increasingly worried …
The contribution of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets to sea level has increased in recent decades, largely owing to the thinning and retreat of outlet glaciers and ice streams. This dynamic loss is a serious concern, with some modelling studies suggesting that the collapse of a major ice …
Corps Diplomatique column | A recent gathering in the northern Norwegian town of Tromso called Arctic Frontiers became an interesting forum for a global discussion on the region and the impact its sensitive ecology has for the entire planet. Planet Earth’s circumpolar north region, or the Arctic Circle, is not …
Coastal Areas Home To 1.3bn Face Submersion The damaging climate consequences of carbon emissions will grow and persist for millennia without a dramatic new global energy strategy , a new study has warned. Rising global temperatures, ice field and glacial melting and rising sea levels are among the climatic changes …
Loss of ice in Antarctica caused by a warming ocean may result in rising global sea levels by three metres, warns a recent research. Scientists from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland were able to gauge how levels of ice - that existed continuously for at least 1.4 million years …
Human emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide are causing the Earth to warm. We know this, and we have known about the heat-trapping nature of these gases for over 100 years. But scientists want to know how fast the Earth is warming and how much extra energy is …
Melting ice sheets in Antarctica caused by ocean warming could potentially increase global sea levels by three meters. In the study, a team of scientists examined a number of landscapes to determine how warmer temperatures affect the West Antarctic ice sheet. "Our findings narrow the margin of uncertainty around the …
The amount of sea level rise that comes from the oceans warming and expanding has been underestimated, and is likely about twice as much as previously calculated, German researchers said on Monday. The findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a peer-reviewed US journal, suggest that increasingly …
Acknowledging that the Paris agreement on climate change is not perfect and not legally binding, US President Barack Obama said today that the mechanisms built into it will nevertheless hold every country accountable for meeting its commitments. Describing himself as "passionate" about confronting climate change, Obama said few countries will …
