Dramatic changes in the Arctic, including an increase in wildfires, the greening of the Tundra and an increase in winter precipitation, are documented in the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s 2024 Arctic Report Card.

In a new report published today, the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee points to research that the Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the globe.

A new research study shows that the seven worst years for polar ice sheets melting and losing ice have occurred during the past decade, with 2019 being the worst year on record.

A new study published in Nature Communications by an international team of scientists shows that an irreversible loss of the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, and a corresponding rapid acceleration of sea level rise, may be imminent if global temperature change cannot be stabilized below 1.8°C, relative to the preindustrial levels.

UK scientists are warning that a staggering loss” of 28 trillion tonnes of Earth’s ice could see sea level rise reach a metre by the end of the century, triggered by melting glaciers and ice sheets.

The World Meteorological Organization is warning that 2019 is on course to be the second or third warmest year on record, concluding a decade of exceptional global heat and high-impact weather.

Arctic sea ice appears to have reached a record low wintertime maximum extent on March 7, according to scientists at NASA and the NASA-supported National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado.
