But scientists now warn that the first summer which completely melts all of the Arctic's sea ice could occur by 2027. Using 300 computer simulations, scientists predicted that the Arctic's first ...

Thus, according to the predictions arising from the model, the Arctic Ocean is expected to be ice-free in just three ... most simulations suggested that complete melting would not occur until ...

The arctic has been slowly melting at greater rates over the past half-century, and Arctic sea ice has disappeared at a staggering 12 percent per decade due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.

The first summer on record that melts practically all of the Arctic’s sea ice, an ominous milestone for the planet, could occur as early as 2027. “The first ice-free day in the Arctic won’t change ...

If Greenland's ice sheet melts, levels could rise six metres. Coastal communities would face severe risks from this change. Arctic wildlife also faces growing challenges from ice loss. Polar bears ...

Nearly all of the Arctic’s sea ice could melt by the summer of 2027, a group of international scientists has warned. Sea ice – frozen seawater that floats on the ocean’s surface – in the ...

Nearly all of the Arctic’s sea ice could melt by the summer of 2027, a group of international scientists has warned. “The climate models show that unless we can stay below 1.5 degrees Celsius ...

Nearly all of the Arctic’s sea ice could melt by the summer of 2027, a group of international scientists has warned. Sea ice – frozen seawater that floats on the ocean’s surface – in the region has ...
