The Earth’s water system is out of balance. Freshwater reserves are dwindling and most rivers have not flowed normally over the past seven years, according to a new UN report. ´The main message is that water availability has declined in recent years,´says SMHI hydrologist Yeshewatesfa Hundecha.
Greenland and Antarctica have lost 11.3 trillion tonnes of ice since the 1970s. This has raised global sea levels by more than three centimetres, according to a new study.
Climate change occurred at an ominously high rate between 2011 and 2020, a new report shows. It looks particularly bad for the world's glaciers, which shrank by around 1 meter a year.
An overwhelming majority of the world's glaciers are shrinking and many of them could disappear in the not-too-distant future, according to a series of new studies. This means that we may soon experience the same state as during the postglacial warm period 8,000-4,000 years ago
