Photographed from space, glaciers are among the best indicators of global warming used by scientists: their melting is indeed more apparent than ever.
Dorothy Hall, a scientist from NASA and a team of international researchers have used several satellites to record the significant changes seen among different European glaciers, Icelandic or U.S. (Alaska).
For some, the addition of other data shows not only the loss of area, working through the edges of the ice formation, but also a loss of ice thickness near the center.
For most scientists, the rapid melting of glaciers …

The United States and China, the two biggest emitters of greenhouse gases in the world have signed a memorandum in which they pledge to increase cooperation against climate change and global warming.
On the second day of their “strategic economic dialogue”, the United States and China signed an agreement on climate change which did not mention targets but placed climate at the heart of their bilateral cooperation.
Ten areas were particularly affected by this agreement: energy efficiency, renewable energy, capture and storage, electric vehicles, power grids, clean technologies, reducing air pollution and …

NASA announced the results of measurements made by a satellite over the Arctic, between the winter 2004 and the winter 2008. This study shows that the thickness of the ice has declined dramatically and confirms the impact of global warming on the ice caps.
Since winter 2004, the ice caps have lost almost 18 centimeters in thickness each year in the Arctic, according to the measurements taken by the ICEsat satellite and published by the Newspaper off Geophysical Research-Oceans.
The volume of the permanent ices known as multi-year is lower than that …

United States, New York – Deutsche Bank, in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has installed a giant meter few days ago which unveils billion tonnes of CO2 emitted anywhere in the world in real-time.
Installed near Madison Square Garden a few days ago by Deutsche Bank and MIT, a university and a research center, the giant meter is also available on the website of the German bank so that New Yorkers are not the only ones to become aware of the urgency of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
Figures …

In partnership with the financial group Allianz, WWF published a ranking of the G8 countries on the fight against global warming. Canada is proving to be the worst student while Germany climbed onto the first step of the podium.
At one week of the G8 Summit to be held in Italy, WWF published the ranking of the eight most industrialized countries in the fight against global warming, every year.
“Every country has taken steps but they are not sufficient to maintain the average increase in global temperatures below the critical threshold of …
