In other words, Earth’s natural climate regulation favors warmth, not ice.Historically, when these cooling conditions fail to align, the planet defaults to a high-CO₂, ice-free state—a ...

"The earliest ice-free conditions (the first single occurrence of an ice-free Arctic) could occur in 2020–2030s under all emission trajectories and are likely to occur by 2050," the authors write.

Greenland’s ice-covered landscape looks like an immovable block on satellite maps. Yet the story beneath its center suggests ...

Research reveals how Earth got its ice caps Date: February 14, 2025 Source: University of Leeds Summary: The cool conditions which have allowed ice caps to form on Earth are rare events in the ...

The Arctic region is heating up faster than any other place on Earth, and as more and more sea ice is lost every year, we are already feeling the impacts. Researchers explored strategies for ...

Scientists found low-density amorphous ice in space isn’t fully random - it hides tiny crystals, reshaping our understanding ...

Arctic melting foreshadows America's climate future 45:20. The Arctic could be "ice-free" in just a few years, scientists have found. Here's what that means.

In fact, an ice-free Arctic each September is likely already "baked" into Earth's climate system, according to study lead author Seung-Ki Min of the Pohang University of Science and Technology in ...

Periodically, global temperatures drop, ice sheets form at the poles, then the ice creeps down to cover the continents. We call these ice ages. There have been five major ice ages in Earth’s ...

The cool conditions which have allowed ice caps to form on Earth are rare events in the planet's history and require many complex processes working at once, according to new research. February 14 ...
