After lengthy efforts to force the thick ice over 3 km, scientists were able to extract one core – a cylindrical sample – frozen water of Lake Vostok, the largest lake in Antarctica subglaciar covered with ice of 20 million years. Ice cap of 2 meters was obtained from a depth of 3406 meters. Transparent ice [...]
Melting ice in Antarctica is almost twice faster than previously thought, which will lead to a worrying rise in sea level. Since 1950, average annual temperatures increased by 2.4 degrees Celsius Research Station Byrd of West Antarctica.

A new theory claims that the origin of this disaster would not have found meteoritc impact or volcanism in itself, but a [...]
How photosynthesis changed the world?

Ocean level increases level rise with 60% faster than climatologists UN experts have estimated the latest report, scientists announced. Currently, sea level rise on average by 3.2 millimeters per year, says the latest issue of the scientific journal Environmental Research Letters. Instead, the best estimate of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) issued in 2007 [...]
