By Elliott Negin After President Trump met with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto last Friday at the G20 summit in Germany, a reporter asked him if he still wants Mexico to pay for a wall along the U.S. southern border. “Absolutely,” Trump replied. Regardless of who foots the bill, the wall—which could cost as much […]
The widening crack in Antarctica’s Larsen C Ice Shelf has grown even longer. An iceberg the size of Delaware is now precariously hanging on to the main ice shelf by 8 miles of ice. Scientists with the Antarctic research group Project Midas report that the rift lengthened by another 11 miles between May 25 and […]
From severe coral bleaching to rising sea levels, climate change is drastically impacting the health of our oceans. However, these facts seem to evade the President of the United States. The Trump administration’s notorious skepticism of global warming is affecting plans for the upcoming United Nations ocean conference, according to Sweden’s deputy prime minister, Isabella […]
Scientists have had their eyes on Greenland as its iconic glaciers have begun disappearing due to a warming climate. But, what they didn’t expect to see was a whole new type of melting. The Rink Glacier, the largest glacier on the west coast of Greenland, was exhibiting some strange melting behaviors during the hot summers […]
The Department of Interior edited a news release on a study coauthored by government scientists to remove a mention of climate change, the Washington Post reported. The DOI deleted a sentence linking climate change to sea level rise from the press release on the study, which found that the risk of flooding to coastal communities […]
By Tim Radford German scientists have worked out the process that could destroy an Antarctic ice shelf the size of Iraq. They predict that, in a few decades, the oceanographic machinery that keeps the Ronne-Filchner ice shelf in the Weddell Sea will fail. A warm ocean will begin to eat away at the 450,000 square […]

Internationally renowned Italian artist Lorenzo Quinn unveiled his new […]
A new branch has split off the widening crack in the Larsen C Ice Shelf in another sign of the ice’s impending breakoff, scientists reported this week. British researchers monitoring the ice shelf using satellite technology spotted the new nine-mile-long branch, which runs about six miles below the original crack. The rift in the Larsen […]
By Nika Knight A new report shows that many previous estimates of global sea level rise by 2100 were far too conservative, the Washington Post reported Thursday, and the research comes as new maps and graphics from Climate Central vividly show how disastrous that flooding will be for U.S. cities. The report, Snow, Water, Ice […]
