Glacier ice melting continues to accelerate, causing huge global problems
Glaciers are melting rapidly, reducing ice and freshwater supplies, increasing sea levels, and threatening global water security.
Global glacier melt is accelerating, scientists say
Ice loss from the world's glaciers has accelerated over the past decade, scientists said on Wednesday, warning that melting may be faster than previously expected in the coming years and drive sea levels higher.
Global glacier melt is accelerating, new study finds
A new study published in Nature finds ice is melting at a ‘concerning’ rate, with repercussions for sea-level rise.
World’s glaciers melting faster than expected
A new study published in Nature reveals that global glacier ice loss has accelerated by 36% in the past decade, posing serious threats to sea levels and freshwater supplies. Scientists warn that melting may outpace previous predictions,
Global retreat of glaciers has strongly accelerated
Researchers present a global assessment of ice loss since the beginning of the millennium. In a global comparison, the glaciers in the Alps and Pyrenees are melting the fastest.
Polar bears increasingly under threat as glaciers melt faster than ever
A new global assessment shows that the world's glaciers are melting faster in the last 10 years compared to the previous decade. Polar bears, which depend on the frozen sheets, are increasingly under threat.
New study discovers "shocking" acceleration of glacier melting
Ice loss from the world's glaciers has accelerated over the past decade, scientists said, warning that melting may be faster than previously expected.
