Given that polar regions are covered in snow and ice, they reflect almost all the solar radiation that reaches them. But climate change is reducing the amount of ice at the poles, throwing Earth's ...
But these changes are poorly understood in the Arctic, a region that is morphing rapidly under climate change (SN: 11/15/21). Rode and her colleagues looked to polar bear immune systems for ...
The climate data used for the composition spans ... reflect less energy back into space than light-colored surfaces. Given that polar regions are covered in snow and ice, they reflect almost ...
Human-driven climate change is pushing the Antarctic towards numerous tipping points that will impact wider earth systems, with profound implications for humanity and biodiversity. This is the ...
Climate change is leading to more frequent rainfall in the Arctic, turning snow into slush that becomes lodged in polar bears' paws, where it freezes, they wrote in the study. Warmer temperatures ...
