Part 3 on controls on Arctic sea ice. Although sunspot cycles do not add enough energy to explain the Arctic's warming, the sun and sunspot cycles do explain redistribution of heat from the Tropics to Arctic and resulting...

A recent bout of extreme warm weather in the far north Arctic Circle is setting new temperature records and unnerving climate scientists. "To have zero degrees [Celsius] at the North Pole in February - it's just wrong,"...

Humanity is entering a phase of grave uncertainty as rising temperatures wreck havoc on our planet. Researchers from Yale University and the University of Southhampton have found evidence that Arctic ice loss may be having...

Arctic ice levels continue to dwindle. According to data gathered by NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center, Arctic sea ice levels this winter were the lowest on record since we started snapping satellite images in...

A photo of a sickly and skinny polar bear in Svalbard, Norway has gone viral, as tragedy unfolds in the Arctic. The shocking image of the starving polar bear was shot by photographer Kerstin Langenberger off the Barents Sea...

Melting Arctic ice is poised to unleash a torrent of more than 1 trillion pieces of plastic into the ocean over the next 10 years. According to a new report, there's an immense amount of plastic trapped in remote ice areas...

The melting Arctic ice is poised to unleash a torrent of more than 1 trillion pieces of plastic into the ocean over the next 10 years. According to a new report, there are a trillion bits of plastic trapped in remote ice...

A new study from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography reveals a troubling trend in the Arctic: as the planet warms and the ice caps melt, the Earth is losing its ability to reflect heat back into space...

The three-ton marionette was created by Christopher Kelly and will be operated by  a team of over 15 puppeteers from the inside. 30 volunteers will help to haul the bear through London on a route that will wind past the...

At the weekend my old mucker David Rose reported in the Mail On Sunday the shocking news that there is 60 per cent more sea ice at the Arctic than there was this time last year...
