Inquisitr: The Antarctic ice sheet is gaining more mass than it is losing, according to recent studies conducted by NASA. Researchers admit some glaciers are indeed thinning. However, snow accumulation continues to offset the loss by increasing the mass of the continent`s overall land ice. As explained by the National Snow & Ice Data Center, ice sheets, which are also referred to as glacial land ice, are solid masses of ice covering a mass of land. They are specifically defined by their size, which must...

George Pataki declared it not appropriate to think that human activity isnt at least partially to blame. But those are outlying opinions, offset by hardcore skepticism expressed by Republicans closer...

Agence France-Presse: The organisers of the COP21 climate conference starting in Paris in a month's time are faced with an unenviable task as they prepare for an event that it is hoped will produce a new roadmap to stop the Earth warming. They must welcome tens of thousands of participants to a site near the French capital, house them, feed and transport them, and do so in the greenest conditions possible, with the world's media dissecting every aspect of the event's organisation.

Business Insider: The highest temperature ever recorded was 134.06 degrees Fahrenheit in Death Valley, California. By 2100, climate change could make that extreme a typical hot summer day in the Persian Gulf. And the worst heat could be in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, according to a study published Oct. 26 in Nature Climate Change. With 1.6 million people living in the metropolitan area, Dhahran hosts the headquarters of the Saudi Arabian Oil Company, a.k.a. Aramco, which owns the largest oil reserves in the world. ...
