According to the study published in Geophysical Research Letters, changing winter climates over the last 30 years have limited the growth of seasonal sea ice, leading to warming of lakebed temperature of Arctic lakes less than 1 meter deep by 2.4 degree Celsius. This makes the annual lakebed temperature to be above the freezing point. This rate of...

Climate scientists at two U.S. universities said the most recent U.N. report on the effects of global warming had underestimated the rate at which the ice covering the continent would melt. That report, issued in 2013, said the worst case of man-made climate change would mean a sea-level rise of...
