Earth Day: New study shows how fast Antarctic glaciers are melting

Glaciers that stand on flat areas melt at a higher rate than those on mountains, there is a fear that the Thwaites Glacier will soon reach a flat area and then its melting will accelerate

Globally, January 2017 was 0.88 degrees Celsius warmer than the 20th century average. This is the third warmest January since measurements began in 1880. Chart: NOAA.

Despite the cold nights, the world is still warming

"For more than a decade now, the rate of ice melting in the North Pole in the summer has exceeded the rate of accumulation in the winter," says Prof. Haim Kotiel, a climate expert from the University of Haifa
