 Antarctic Ice Shelf Disappears An Antarctic ice shelf has quickly vanished, another is disappearing and glaciers are melting faster than anyone thought due to climate change, according to U.S. and British government researchers. (04-04-2009) |
| Huge Antarctic Ice Shelf Collapses A chunk of Antarctic ice about seven times the size of Manhattan suddenly collapsed, putting an even greater portion of glacial ice at risk. This is the result of global warming, said a British Antarctic Survey scientist. (03-25-2008) |
| Arctic Sea Ice Melting Extraordinarily Fast Revised estimates suggest that summer sea ice in the Arctic may disappear as early as the summer of 2012, twenty-eight years sooner than was projected recently. What happens in the Arctic has implications for the rest of the world. Faster melting there means eventual sea level rise and more immediate changes in winter weather because of less sea ice.

 Climate Action This Decade Or Else Unless the international community agrees to cut carbon emissions by half over the next generation, climate change is likely to cause large-scale human and economic setbacks and irreversible ecological catastrophes, according to a new United Nations report.

 Urgent Action Needed On Global Warming Climate change is severe and so sweeping that only urgent, global action can head it off, according to a United Nations scientific panel report on global warming written by Nobel Prize winning scientists. (11-17-2007) |
 Bush Lies To World Leaders About Environmental Goals Less than a week after administration correspondence emerged demonstrating that the Bush administration has been attempting to undermine efforts by California and other states to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Bush delivered a speech to representatives of several large countries claiming that he is doing the opposite.

| Floating Ice Melting Quickly In The Arctic The area of floating ice in the Arctic has shrunk more this summer than in any other summer since satellite tracking began in 1979, and it has reached that record point a month before the annual ice pullback typically peaks, experts said yesterday.

| Himalayan Glaciers Disappearing Himalayan glaciers release water steadily throughout the year, most critically during the hot, dry, sunny periods when water is most needed. Once they vanish, major lifeline rivers such as the Ganges and Indus could become more seasonal, and large tributaries may dry up completely during non-monsoon periods. (05-12-2007) |
 Flight Pollution Driving Global Warming Aviation growth is soaring to an all-time high, raising the prospect of a huge increase in the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming.
For the first time, more than 2.5 million commercial flights will be made around the world in a single month. (05-10-2007) |
| Arctic Sea Ice Melting Fast The world is heading towards a situation where the Arctic will soon be almost totally ice-free during summer, which could have a dramatic impact on weather patterns across the northern hemisphere.
