The polar ice caps are melting. And this has already led to an increase in the sea level. Between now and 2100, it is estimated that the sea level will rise anywhere from 1 foot up to 7 feet. But ...

As the planet warms, the polar ice caps are melting. That water flows into the oceans, particularly in the lower latitudes, making our planet bulge at the equator — and adding time to the day.

Antarctica is melting at an average rate of about 150 billion tons of ice per year, while Greenland's ice caps are losing about 270 billion tons per year.

The polar ice caps are melting, and it is, to put it mildly, a problem. Melting glaciers have several environmental and ecological ramifications; those implications include rising sea levels and ...

The first thing to do, though, is to stop panicking, because it will take longer than a century for the polar ice caps to melt completely. But what if we sped things up just a little?

Since 1979, Arctic ice has shrunk by 1.35 million square miles, a new JPL study found ice loss in Greenland is far worse than previously thought and Antarctic ice is now at the lowest level since ...

New research shows polar ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica are melting faster than before, causing rising sea levels that affect Florida.

As melting sea ice diminishes their habitat and causes shifting ice conditions, recent research shows polar bears are developing life-threatening paw injuries.

Humanity's activities and climate change are impacting the polar ice sheets, causing excessive melting, and this is slowing Earth's rotation, challenging official timekeeping standards.

As the planet warms, the polar ice caps are melting. That water flows into the oceans, particularly in the lower latitudes, making our planet bulge at the equator — and adding time to the day.
