When it comes to Arctic apex predators, the polar bear is the first animal that typically comes to mind. It’s a top predator, ...

As the planet warms, the polar ice caps are melting. That water flows into the oceans, particularly in the lower latitudes, making our planet bulge at the equator — and adding time to the day.

What you likely won’t think about is a phenomenon known as ‘ice piracy’. But according to researchers from the University of ...

As the polar ice caps melt, the Earth actually slows down, California scientists say. Less ice at the Earth's poles and more water weight spread around to other places are leading to the planet ...

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.

Glaciers and ice sheets on opposite ends of the Earth are melting faster than previously thought and could cause sea levels around the world to rise as much as 13 to 20 feet by the end of the century, ...

Researchers found that Earth’s rotation is speeding up ever so slightly due to melting ice caps, which could force officials to consider a “negative leap second” by next decade. If the trend keeps up, ...

President Donald Trump, in an interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan, falsely claimed that the polar ice caps which have been melting at historic rates were in fact "setting records" for ...
