Global Warming: Heatwave Envelopes Coldest Continent, Antarctica

The Antarctic region is heating up rapidly due to heat-trapping gas pollution from humans. Warming observed in the area has serious global consequences, especially for the millions of people

When the world’s coldest continent covered in ice experiences a heatwave, even sceptics of global warming have to sit up and take notice, and ask why.

I know the inhabited part of the world is currently grappling with a life threating pandemic called coronavirus, but a section of our brains still gat to process this so we know if there’s anything to do. Afterall coronavirus has taught us that a stitch in time saves nine.

  1. Temperature change due to climate change in Antarctica is not stable over the whole continent. West Antarctica is warming rapidly, while the inland regions are cooled by the winds in Antarctica. Water in the West Antarctic has warmed by 1 °C since year 1955. Further increase in temperature in water and on land will affect the climate, ice mass and life on the continent and have global implications. Present-day greenhouse gas concentrations are higher than ever according to ice cores from Antarctica, which indicates that warming on this continent is not part of a natural cycle and attributable to anthropogenic climate change.
