This 1,636 square kilometer iceberg came off of Antarctica's west shelf, called the Amery ice shelf. It was not due to global warming, but rather as part of a natural cycle.
Plastic accumulation in the sediment layer of the earth has increased exponentially following the end of World War II. Our fossil record is now marked by our "love of plastic".
Antarctic sea ice has typically been safe from the effects of climate change felt elsewhere on Earth. But in the last three years that has changed.
An early June heat wave cooked the mussels of Northern California's Bodega Head in their shells, causing the largest die-off of the foundational species in the area in 15 years.
In April 2019, the U.S. generated more electricity from renewable sources than from coal for the first time ever.
