Greenland’s ice sheet is the second-largest ice cap on Earth, and because of the planet’s rising temperatures, it’s melting. Human-induced climate change is intensifying atmospheric rivers ...

Antarctic sea ice has again fallen to a near-record low as a new study shows the system is undergoing a significant "structural change". Scientists have been using satellite images over the past ...
