Scientists studying plants in one of the most extreme environments on Earth say the Arctic is indeed changing under the impact of global warming—but not in a uniform way. Researchers tracked more than ...

Sea ice loss is not only damaging to wildlife, plants and the roughly 4 million people who live in the Arctic — it has global consequences. Sea ice acts like a giant mirror, reflecting the ...
