They are melting like never seen before, changing landscapes around the world beyond recognition.

Nature Geoscience - Climate and ice sheet processes in Antarctica increasingly reflect those observed earlier in Greenland. Applying process insights from Greenland can improve projections of...

We fact check Kemi Badenoch and her party after she promised to repeal Climate Change Act if they win power

Long-buried layers of saline permafrost seem to be accelerating climate change's transformation of the Arctic

Earth’s climate is warming because we burn fossil fuels for electricity, transport, heating, and food production, and this releases greenhouse gases. The polar regions (the Arctic and Antarctic) are w...

Some proposals for climate cooling would require unprecedented levels of global cooperation and feats of engineering, says Lara Williams for Bloomberg Opinion.

But curiosity-driven stupidity may take us there

The Environmental Audit Committee has published the Government’s response to the Committee’s report on ‘the UK and the Antarctic environment’.

Announcement comes after more than 40 polar scientists warned ideas to slow polar ice loss were unrealistic, unaffordable and dangerous

New research by a team of top ice and climate scientists debunks some speculative technological climate fixes for preserving the polar ice caps.

The plans could also unintentionally harm fragile polar ecosystems.

A review of the five main methods proposed for cooling down the poles or slowing the loss of ice concludes they are all wildly impractical, wouldn't work, or both

Climate research group says such ideas are diverting attention from cutting fossil fuel use Proposals to fight the impact of the climate crisis at the poles, from giant underwater curtains to scattering glass beads across the ice, have been dismissed by a group of scientists as an “unimaginably expensive” and “dangerous” distraction. Geoengineering, which includes blocking sunlight with airborne particles and thickening ice with pumped seawater, has become highly divisive among scientists. Its proponents argue that, with cuts in carbon emissions going far too slowly, exploring options for “emergency brakes” would be valuable. Continue reading...

Controversial approaches to cooling the planet are unlikely to work, according to dozens of polar scientists.
