The climate crisis is making days longer, and it’s bad news for tech. According to a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, climate change is slowing down the Earth ...

New data shows that CO2 levels have broken through 430 parts per million, an indication that human-caused global warming will continue to warp the environment.

Earth's 'catastrophic' ice melt problem is worse than previously thought, study says The world's two gigantic ice sheets are in greater peril from global warming than previously thought, a study ...

Melting glaciers have changed that distribution enough to knock Earth off its axis, research showed. Since 1980, Earth's north and south poles have drifted about 13 feet.

A research project is collecting ice cores from glaciers and icefields before they melt way. The aim is to study both the past and possible future of humanity's impact on the world's climate.

Melting ice at the poles due to climate change may impact the Earth's spin, altering our global clock. According to a new paper in the journal Nature, the "leap second" due to be added to ...

Melting alpine ice in the Rocky Mountains has led to the discovery of a 5,900-year-old whitebark pine forest. Over 30 trees are estimated to have been found by scientists during an archaeological ...

But while melting ice may be slowing the Earth’s spin, there’s another factor at play when it comes to global timekeeping, according to the report: processes in the Earth’s core.

If Earth stays at its current levels of warming — below policymakers’ goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius — polar ice sheets may melt, causing seas to rise and displacing coastal communities, a ...

Humanity's activities and climate change are impacting the polar ice sheets, causing excessive melting, and this is slowing Earth’s rotation, challenging official timekeeping standards.

In short: The melting of Earth's ice caps is slowing the rate at which the planet spins. New research suggests this will have implications for how we adjust the world's "UTC" time standard, to ...
