The comparison found that the rate of glacial retreat in Greenland during the 21st century has been twice as fast as the retreat in the 20th century.

Life on planet Earth is under siege. We are now in an uncharted territory.

If global temperatures increase by 1° Celsius (C) or more than current levels, each year billions of people will be exposed to heat and humidity so extreme they will be unable to naturally cool themselves, according to interdisciplinary research from the Penn State College of Health and Human Development, Purdue University College of Sciences and Purdue Institute for a Sustainable Future.

Recent studies have shown tire emissions to be a larger threat to global health than anyone realized

Ice-free summers inevitable even with sharp emissions cuts and likely to result in more extreme heatwaves and floods

The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are now losing more than three times as much ice a year as they were 30 years ago
