Ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica are melting around six times faster than in the 1990s, as global warming threatens to trigger rising sea levels, more avalanches and increasingly unreliable water .
The world still has an opportunity to limit global warming to below 2°C, but achieving that target will require substantially deeper emissions reductions .
The United Nations’ latest climate report is a stark reminder that limiting warming to the safest levels is now likely out of reach.
In 2015, all but two countries agreed to make an effort to keep global temperatures from reaching 1.
Strong and consistent evidence shows that the entire climate system is continuing to heat, driving rapid global warming.
A surge of warm air thousands of feet over the Arctic can lead to major weather changes across the Northern Hemisphere in the coming months.

A new research study from The University of Alabama in Huntsville addresses the question of how much urban areas have warmed from the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect.
In a strategic retreat in the fight against climate change, the United Nations has acknowledged that Earth has lost its chance to prevent some of the worst of global warming's harms.
