Warming World: Antarctic Research Reveals the Accuracy of Global Warming Models

Bump it!

A new study shows that Antarctica warmed by about 11°C during the period immediately following the peak of the last ice age while most of the rest of the planet only warmed 4°C. The research supports current climate change models, emphasizing the need to take action to avoid the future temperature increases predicted by those models.

Bump it!

Temperatures in the Arctic are reaching 20 °C (36 °F) higher than normal above 80 degrees North Latitude. Experts assert that the warmth is a result of a combination of record-low sea-ice and warm/moist air from lower latitudes being driven northward by a jet stream.
