An international study of 724 Northern Hemisphere lakes reveals that winter ice cover is disappearing faster than expected, with a projected loss of 40 days by 2100 under high emissions. The research identifies critical temperature thresholds, above which ice loss accelerates sharply, particularly due to faster spring melting.
New research suggests Antarctica's sea ice loss, linked to cloud cover and ocean heat absorption, could accelerate global warming faster than previously thought. Recent record-low sea ice extents and higher regional temperatures signal a major climate shift, with potential for amplified warming and more severe climate impacts globally.
Swiss glaciers are experiencing unprecedented ice melt due to a persistent heatwave, with all accumulated snow expected to be gone by Monday. This marks the second-earliest 'glacier loss day' on record, signaling a grim scenario for the Alps.
Switzerland's glaciers are on track for massive ice loss this year, with "glacier loss day" expected Monday, the second earliest on record. Heatwaves, poor snowfall, and Sahara dust are accelerating melt, mirroring 2022's record year. Scientists link Europe's extreme heat to climate change.
New aerial images of the Bossons Glacier near Chamonix reveal significant ice loss, with meltwater streams and a visible hole in its lower tongue. Once extending to the valley floor, the glacier has dramatically shrunk due to rising temperatures and climate change, mirroring a wider trend in the Alps.
Bitcoin's price dropped below $67,000, marking its lowest point since early April, as liquidations surged to $1.25 billion in 24 hours. Analysts predict further declines, potentially to the mid-$50,000 range, citing a repeat of a bear flag breakdown pattern and significant spot selling.
