Greenland’s Ice Sheet May Have Reached a Tipping Point That Sets It On an Irreversible Path Greenland’s ice sheet may have reached a tipping point that sets it on an irreversible path. Nearly 40 years of Greenland satellite data showed that its glaciers have shrunk so much that even if global warming stopped today, the ice sheet would continue to shrink.

Has Climate Change Brought an End to Summer Skiing on Horstman Glacier, Whistler Blackcomb, BC? In 2015, Whistler Blackcomb, BC announced that due to melting snow and the retreat of the Horstman Glacier they would take the unprecedented move of snowmaking in summer to preserve the long-held tradition of summer skiing on the glacier. It now looks like they managed to hold off the melting for five years, as photos of the area show the resort […] Industry News SnowBrains | July 14, 2020 10 Comments
Study Finds Climate Change Has Stopped 6,500 Years of Global Cooling A recent paleoclimatology study shows that climate change has reversed a major global cooling event. The study lays out that before roughly 150 years ago, the Earth, on average, was cooling for over six millennia. On June 30, the study was published in Nature Research’s Scientific Data revealing the most comprehensive data set ever studied in this line of research.

Climate Change May Already Be SuperCharging Tropical Storms Reports show that climate change could already be supercharging tropical storms. This was something that climatologists around the world believed would occur, but it was unclear how soon this would start happening. Scientists now believe they have found evidence of this occurring already. Not only do they believe that these storms are intensifying, but that they also could be helping […] Brains Ryan Flynn | June 29, 2020 0 Comments
Climate: Historical High Temperatures and Modern Climate Earth has experienced many temperatures over time, from historical high temperatures to ice ages and our modern climate. Earth has experienced a range of climates and temperatures over time. There have been notable thermal maximums in Earth’s history. Scientists research these thermal maximums and compare them to current climate trends. Earth was at its peak temperature just after its formation, […] Brains Lynn Barlow | June 26, 2020 2 Comments
Climate Change is Moving International Borders — Literally The detrimental effects of climate change are blurring the borders between Switzerland and Italy, resulting in a convoluted dispute between the two countries. Accelerated temperatures in central Europe have forced the rapid melting of glaciers in the Alpine national frontiers. While the sections affected are located at high altitudes, the determination of country territory is in a state of flux. Related: […] Emily Crofton | June 23, 2020 0 Comments
May 2020 Was 18ºF Warmer Than Average in Siberia Yes, you read that correctly, May 2020 was 18ºF (10ºC) warmer than average in Siberia. The average temperature in May typically ranges from about 36ºF (2ºC) to 57ºF (14ºC) with a mean temperature of 47ºF (8ºC). While this might seem like a good opportunity to visit Siberia and not freeze, it is in fact not a good sign for the Earth […] Weather Alex Camerino | June 23, 2020 0 Comments
