Antarctic snow may hide climate shock. A new study that shows Antarctic snowfalls have changed little in 50 years, despite global warming, could be evidence that the worst is yet to come. [News Source]

Greenland’s ice cap is melting at a frighteningly fast rate. The vast ice cap that covers Greenland nearly three miles thick is melting faster than ever before on record. [News Source]

Cities, states aren’t waiting for U.S. action on climate. With Washington lawmakers deadlocked on how best to curb global warming, state and local officials across the country are adopting ambitious policies and forming international alliances. [News Source]

Putting the carbon back. Some soil scientists, archaeologists, geographers, agronomists, and anthropologists think that enriching Earth's soils with charcoal can help avert global warming. [News Source]

Rock’s green days. In a summer beset by bubbling thermometers and soaring gas prices, dozens of rock bands are doing more than just singing about environmental causes. [News Source]

Polar snows fail to halt sea’s rise as globe warms. Global sea levels are now tipped to rise significantly higher than expected because Antarctica is failing to "lock up" increased moisture caused by global warming. [News Source]

No dice for Greenland ice. Something ominous may be happening beneath Greenland's vast ice sheet. The sheet now seems to be melting and sliding seaward at an accelerating rate--a condition that could eventually endanger coastal populations and affect Earth's climate. [News Source]

Greenland’s melting ice sheet may speed rise in sea level. Two new scientific studies measuring Greenland's rapidly melting ice sheet and the pace of Antarctic snowfall suggest that the sea level may be rising faster than researchers previously assumed. [News Source]

Greenland ice melt may be faster than thought. Greenland's ice sheet is melting more rapidly than expected, according to data obtained from two NASA satellites that measure the gravitational pull of the earth's rivers, mountains and glaciers. [News Source]

Melting of Greenland’s ice sheet quickens. The melting of Greenland’s ice sheet is accelerating, threatening an increasing rise in sea levels. [News Source]

Greenland melt ’speeding up.’ Data from a US space agency satellite show that the melting rate has accelerated since 2004. If the ice cap were to completely disappear, global sea levels would rise by 21 feet. [News Source]
