12-03-07 The future of Canadian outdoor ice hockey（冰球） -- a sport synonymous with the country's culture -- is being threatened by anthropogenic（人为的） climate change, new research suggests. As warmer winter temperatures restrict ice from freezing over...

12-03-01 A new NASA study revealed that the oldest and thickest Arctic sea ice is disappearing at a faster rate than the younger and thinner ice at the edges of the Arctic Ocean's floating ice cap. The thicker ice, known as multi-year ice, survives through t...

12-02-11 The supposed 'consensus' on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years. 新的温度数据显示，地球在过去的15年间并无变暖。这一数据发布后，...

12-02-03 New research reveals how the arrival of the first plants 470 million years ago triggered a series of ice ages. Led by the Universities of Exeter and Oxford, the study is published in Nature Geoscience. The team set out to identify the effects that t...

11-12-11 An unusually hot melting season in 2010 accelerated ice loss in southern Greenland by 100 billion tons -- and large portions of the island's bedrock rose an additional quarter of an inch in response. That's the finding from a network of nearly 50 GP...

11-12-02 Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels plunged by 40 percent before and during the formation of the Antarctic ice sheet 34 million years ago, according to a new study. The finding helps solve a long-standing scientific puzzle and confirms the power of CO...

11-10-26 The Greenland ice sheet can experience extreme melting even when temperatures don't hit record highs, according to a new analysis by Dr. Marco Tedesco, assistant professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at The City College of Ne...

11-10-21 Fire and Ice Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire， I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To know that for destruction ice Is also great and wo...

11-08-23 Astronomers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have discovered that the dwarf planet 2007 OR10 -- nicknamed Snow White -- is an icy world, with about half its surface covered in water ice that once flowed from ancient, slush-spewing...

11-03-25 The 2011 Arctic sea ice extent maximum that marks the beginning of the melt season appears to be tied for the lowest ever measured by satellites, say scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data Center. The CU-Boulde...
