WASHINGTON: The melting of Antarctic ice shelves will double by 2050 and by 2100, melting may surpass all predictions if greenhouse gas emissions continue at the present rate, a new study has warned.
John Moore is on a mission to slow down the melting of the world's widest glacier, nicknamed the 'doomsday glacier' for the havoc it could unleash on the world. The 74,000 square mile Thwaites ...
It carries more than 100 times as much water as all the world's rivers combined. It reaches from the ocean's surface to its ...
