As scientists meet for crucial climate talks in Paris, data shows glaciers are shrinking ever faster, scientists say.

PASADENA - When climate warming causes an ice shelf to break up, glaciers surge from land into the ocean and can cause the sea level to rise, according to two NASA-funded reports.

Many glaciers in West Antarctica have substantially increased their rate of shrinkage compared with the 1990s.

Antarctic glaciers are thinning and slipping ever faster into the sea, according to several new studies. Warmer air and sea temperatures are blamed, and the changes are expected to cause an appreciable rise in sea levels.

NASA, Canadian, and European satellites have observed worrying increases in the flow of glaciers into the open ocean, following the breakup of ice shelves in Antarctica.

A thaw of the Arctic icecap is accelerating because of global warming but nations in the region including the United States are deadlocked about how to stop it.

There's more to the recent dramatic and alarming thawing of the Arctic region than can be explained by man-made global warming alone, a new study found. Nature is pushing the Arctic to the edge, too

The glaciers in West Antarctica have substantially increased their rate of shrinkage compared with the 1990s. US-Chilean teams report to the journal Science that the glaciers are losing 60% more ice into the

â¢ Glaciers in the Antarctic and Greenland are melting much faster than expected, and the world&#39;s fastest-receding glacier, the Grand Pacific in Glacier Bay, Alaska, has doubled its rate.

Scientists have found that the ice in Greenland and the Arctic is melting so rapidly that most of it could be gone by the end of the century. Low-lying lands could be flooded and polar bears could go extinct, among other possibilities.

Some of Antarctica&#39;s glaciers are melting faster than snow can replace them, enough to raise sea levels measurably, scientists have reported.

Switzerlandâs glaciers are melting faster than previously thought, losing almost a fifth of their total area between 1985 and 2000, experts said today.

In March 2002, a Delaware-size Antarctic Peninsula ice shelf collapsed. Since then, several glaciers in the region have accelerated.

Glaciers in Antarctica are thinning faster than they did in the 1990s and researchers have discovered an unexpected folded section deep beneath the ice cap, findings that may indicate the ice is less stable than had been thought.

EDMONTON (CP) - A comprehensive scientific study of the Arctic climate has confirmed what Canadian Dene and Inuit have been saying for years: the North is melting, and faster all the time.

The Arctic ice cap is melting faster than scientists had expected and will shrink 40 percent by 2050 in most regions, with grim consequences for polar bears, walruses and other marine animals, according to government researchers.
