Instead of global warming, some experts are now warning that the world may soon plunge into the next Ice Age. They predict most of Scotland, Northern Ireland and England to be covered in ice 3,000 feet thick. These same experts blame global warming on falling greenhouse gas levels. Read more…
According to research released today, we haven’t done enough to reduce our carbon emissions. In fact, not only have we not done enough, but greenhouse gas emissions have actually surpassed scientists’ worst-case-scenarios, despite the measures put in place by policymakers worldwide. Read more…
Greenland, the world’s largest island, holds enough ice to raise global sea levels by 23 feet. Add the ice sheets of Antarctica and the oceans would deepen more than 200 feet!
Satellite measurements from space confirm that global warming is making an impact and turning ice into water. As glaciers begin to melt, the question everyone […]
People better be prepared to dress warmly this winter because Farmers’ Almanac predicts below-average temperatures for most of the U.S.

“The models suggested they […]
The cyclone that lashed southern Myanmar (Burma) on May 2 and 3 left massive floodwaters that devastated the region, as seen in a May 5, 2008, image (bottom) by NASA’s Terra satellite.On April 15, 2008 (top photo), the same region was photographed with rivers and streams against a backdrop of green vegetation and tan agricultural […]
May 6, 2008—After 9,000 years of silence, Chile’s Chaitén volcano (pictured on May 3) is erupting with lava, ash—and lightning.
Since the volcano awoke on May 2, it has continued erupting intermittently, blanketing the area in ash and forcing more than 4,000 people to flee.
The mingling of lightning and ash seen above may be a “dirty […]
The Ice is melting, the ice is melting!
Some 220 square miles of ice has collapsed in Antarctica and an ice shelf about seven times the size of Manhattan is “hanging by a thread,” the British Antarctic Survey said Tuesday, blaming global warming.
“We are in for a lot more events like this,” said professor Ted Scambos, […]
