William & Mary’s Batten School and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science have released its yearly “report cards” for sea-level rise, and the city of Norfolk is once again near the top of ...

Even if global warming is capped at 1.5°C, catastrophic sea-level rise is inevitable, potentially displacing millions. Melting ice sheets are accelerating this rise, overwhelming coastal defenses ...

NASA's new chilling animation is opening our eyes to the climate change crisis. The video shows how far sea levels have risen in the past three decades from 1993 to 2022. In those 30 years, sea ...

Coastal flooding is caused by a cluster of factors, chief among them climate change-driven sea level rise, but the AMOC also plays a critical role in the Northeast, according to the study ...

The world’s ice sheets are on course for runaway melting, leading to multiple feet of sea level rise and “catastrophic” migration away from coastlines, even if the world pulls off the ...

Research led by Durham University, UK, suggests the target should instead be closer to 1°C to avoid significant losses from the polar ice sheets and prevent a further acceleration in sea level rise.

Researchers from the University of Durham say that the world needs to stay within just 1°C of the pre-industrial average to avoid a catastrophic sea level rise. With current warming levels ...

Ten years ago, policymakers and nation states set the world’s most important climate goal: limiting planetary warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit). If the Earth could stay ...

"It should absolutely be our target, but in no sense will it slow or stop sea level rise from melting ice sheets." Read more Geoengineering could save the ice sheets – but only if we start soon ...

Most of the islands—including the capital Malé—stand about 3.5 feet above sea level; climate scientists forecast they will be inundated by the century’s end. Hulhumalé, the man-made rescue ...
