Climate Change Threatens Svalbard's Thriving Polar Bear Population
The Norwegian Polar Institute monitors Svalbard's polar bear population, darting them to collect samples and fit tracking collars to study the impact of climate change, which now surpasses hunting as the biggest threat to their survival after a 1973 international agreement protected them from huntin...

2024: Warmest Year on Record
November 2024 Copernicus data confirms 2024 as the warmest year on record due to anthropogenic greenhouse gases, amplified by solar activity, El Niño, volcanic activity, reduced ocean aerosols, and decreased low-level clouds; regional temperature and precipitation variations were significant, with r...

Record Low Sea Ice Extent in Arctic and Antarctic
On February 13, 2025, Arctic and Antarctic sea ice reached a record low of 15.76 million sq km due to warmer air and ocean temperatures from global warming, impacting wildlife and accelerating ice melt.

Arctic Ocean's First Ice-Free Day Predicted for 2027
A new study using over 300 computer models predicts the Arctic Ocean could see its first ice-free day as early as summer 2027, significantly earlier than previously forecast; this event is deemed inevitable, regardless of future emissions, and will have profound implications for the global climate a...
