How Antarctic Sea Ice Grew for Decades Before Suddenly Collapsing The planet was warming. The Southern Ocean was warming. And yet, from the late 1970s right through to 2015, the sea ice ringing Antarctica kept spreading.

We Are Slowing Down the Planet The days are getting longer. Not by much though since we're talking about fractions of a millisecond, but the rate at which our planet is slowing down is, according to a new study, completely without precedent in the last 3.6 million years. The culprit isn't the Moon, the Sun or anything in Earth's interior. It's us, homo sapiens.
