Summer sea ice in the Arctic Ocean might be a thing of the past by the 2030s, no matter what we do to curb emissions of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, an international study ...

For years, scientists have debated whether a giant thick ice shelf once covered the entire Arctic Ocean during the coldest ...

For decades, scientists believed the Arctic Ocean was sealed under a massive slab of ice during the coldest ice ages — but new research proves otherwise. Sediment samples from the seafloor, paired ...

Even during the coldest 750,000 years, the Arctic Ocean had open water and sustained life thanks to seasonal sea ice. “Our ...

The Arctic could be free of sea ice roughly a decade earlier than projected, scientists warn – another clear sign the climate crisis is happening faster than expected as the world continues to ...

The claim: April and May data shows Arctic sea ice isn't declining. A Facebook post links to an article with a graph that purportedly shows Arctic sea ice extent data for mid-April through mid-May ...

As Arctic sea ice begins melting out fully in summer, the frequency of strong El Niños could increase by 35% by century's end, causing extreme weather events to increase, says recent modeling study.

Arctic sea ice was slightly higher on Jan. 8, 2024, than the same date 20 years earlier, but that is not evidence of recovery, nor does it negate the contribution of climate warming to a long-term ...

Arctic sea ice’s biggest year since record-keeping began was 1979, at 6.42 million square miles (16.64 million square kilometers). That means since satellites began tracking it, ...

Researchers are warning that Arctic Ocean sea ice is melting at an even faster pace than previously thought — and the region could experience its first ice-free conditions sometime before the 2030s.

Arctic sea ice's biggest year since record-keeping began was 1979, at 6.42 million square miles (16.64 million square kilometers). That means since satellites began tracking it, ...
