melting ice caps

A new study from the University of Colorado at Boulder indicates that older ice is giving way to younger ice. While this may seem odd, it is drastically important when it comes to the conditions being suffered by our polar regions.

Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in France and western Europe, has grown more than two metres in two years - ironically as a result of global warming, experts have found.

Two-thirds of the world's current polar bear population could be gone by 2050 if predictions of melting sea ice hold true, the U.S. Geological Survey said on Friday.
