Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: While the Earth has gone through some dramatic climate changes in its 4.6-billion-year history, natural processes like silicate weathering can help ...

A key Atlantic current could be pushed to the brink of collapse within decades, supposedly ushering in a new ice age and dramatically raising sea levels, climate scientists have claimed in a ...

This documentary explores the possibility that climate change could set off another ice age within the next century. From shifting ocean currents to polar ice melt, the evidence points to a future far ...

Large changes in global sea level, fueled by fluctuations in ice sheet growth and decay, occurred throughout the last ice age, rather than just toward the end of that period, a study published in the ...

After years as a professional research assistant at INSTAAR’s stable isotope lab, Valerie Morris estimates she’s processed more than 10 kilometers of ice from around the world. “You’ve done more ice ...

New geological evidence suggests that the slow wobble of Earth’s axis may have triggered rapid climate swings during the Late Cretaceous greenhouse world.

On a brisk January day with wind chills plunging to minus 25 degrees, Paul “Blade” Bloedorn stood out on nearly 2 feet of ice on Lake Michigan’s Little Bay de Noc. Last weekend, more than 400 shacks ...

While the Earth has gone through some dramatic climate changes in its 4.6-billion-year history, natural processes like silicate weathering can help return things to a comfortable equilibrium. A new ...
