2. Aug. 2021 · What’s behind the extremes. We know about the Little Ice Age because the natural world is full of things like trees, stalagmites and ice sheets that respond to weather while growing or accumulating gradually over time. Specialists can use past fluctuations in their growth or chemistry as indicators of fluctuations in climate and thereby ...
1. Sept. 2020 · Arctic. Scientists have predicted that the global ice age temperature was around 46 degrees Fahrenheit (7.8 degrees Celsius), on average. However, the polar regions were far colder, around 25 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degree Celsius) colder than the global average. Studying past ice ages could help us understand our climate in the future.
29. Jan. 2021 · In total, the rate of ice loss has increased by 65 percent between 1994 and 2017. Overall, between 1994 and 2017, planet Earth lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice. To put that in perspective, that would be equivalent to a 100-meter-thick sheet of ice the size of the U.K. This melting ice has been the most concerning in two polar climates: Antarctica ...
28. Jan. 2016 · A new paper in Nature - by Ganopolsky and colleagues - concludes that the answers to these questions and no and yes. We are not headed for a new ice age, and human-caused climate change will, among its many impacts, delay the start of the next ice age until 50,000 to 100,000 years into the future. Discovering past ice ages and understanding ...
7. Apr. 2022 · 10,000 years ago, forests accounted for 6 billion hectares (57%) of the Earth's habitable land. But by 2018, forests made up just 4 billion hectares. Agriculture is the primary cause of deforestation, resulting in 31% of Earth's habitable land now used for grazing livestock. 1/3 of Earth's forests have disappeared over the last 10,000 years.
15. Jan. 2016 · Our love of fossil fuels may have pushed the next ice age back by 50,000 years. Graph showing a decline in Greenland's GISP2 ice core, and a delay in the next ice age. German researchers analyzed eight global ice ages over the past 800,000 years to come up with the factors that lead to a period of time when large parts of the world are covered ...
11. Mai 2017 · In August 2016, a 12 year-old boy in northern Russia was killed after being infected by Anthrax. The Anthrax outbreak, which saw up to 20 people hospitalised, was blamed on unusually warm weather in the arctic circle. It is believed that a reindeer carcass infected with Anthrax was buried deep in the ice, but with temperatures reaching 35C in ...
24. Juli 2021 · In 2004, The Day After Tomorrow picked up the idea that a change in ocean currents could usher in a new ice age, and ran with it. Jim Fleming – a professor of science and technology with expertise in climate change (no relation to the author of this article) – told CNN the movie was "based on a short-term variation in ocean circulation that was in the news at the time.
15. Aug. 2019 · Reindeer are incredibly hardy creatures – they survived the last Ice Age and today live in some of the world’s most inhospitable landscapes. Despite their fine-tuned adaptations to life in the Arctic and after over 600,000 years of living there, reindeer are struggling to survive the rapid changes happening all around them.
23. Jan. 2020 · The Arctic is an incredibly important system in the global climate system. So just like the Amazon is the lungs of the world, the Arctic is like our circulation system and feeds in to global climate change everywhere. Science also tells us that the Arctic is in crisis. We know based on observational data that we have lost 50% of Arctic ice in ...
