Hudson Bay polar bears are losing sea ice that they use as a base for seal hunting, so they are going hungry longer in the summer.

The icefield, source of more than 1,000 glaciers, is shrinking 4.6 times faster than it was in the 1980s, scientists say.

For the first time in history, world timekeepers may have to consider subtracting a second from official clocks.

An abrupt shutdown of Atlantic Ocean currents that could put large parts of Europe in a deep freeze is looking a bit more likely as a complex simulation finds a “cliff-like” tipping point looming.

Sultan al-Jaber is president of the U.N. Conference of Parties talks, and he’s also chief executive of the United Arab Emirates’ national oil company.

The full melt will take hundreds of years, but its slow addition of nearly 6 feet to sea levels will reshape where and how people live.

White House officials have long considered increased domestic oil production a bridge to help soften the transition to renewable energy sources.

After a summer of record-smashing heat, warming somehow got even worse in September.

July’s global average temperature of 16.95 degrees Celsius was a third of a degree higher than the previous record set in 2019.

Thursday’s announcement by the World Meteorological Organization and the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service says July’s heat is beyond record-smashing.

An ever-warming world strengthened the European heat wave by 4.5 degrees F., the U.S. and Mexico by 3.6 degrees and China by 1.8 degrees.

From early March to this week, the global average ocean sea surface temperature jumped nearly two-tenths of a degree Celsius.

About 26 inches of rain flooded Fort Lauderdale in a six- to eight-hour thunderstorm on Wednesday.

The study also warns the lethal storms will edge eastward to strike more frequently in more populous Southern states, like Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee.
