Antarctic continent at the South Pole grew warmer during the last half century as well as other parts of the world. A new study published in the journal Nature, the latest edition of the break which had expressed the opinion that the area even colder.
Studies conducted by U.S. scientists that carried out by combining weather records and satellite at the South Pole region that contains 90 percent of the world's ice. The results showed that freezing temperatures had risen by 0.5 degrees Celsius (0.8 Fahrenheit) since the 1950s.
The scientists concluded that the eastern region of the South Pole, which is larger and colder than the western part, grew warm 0.1 degrees Celsius per decade. While temperatures in the western part rose 0.17 degrees Celsius per decade, faster than the global average rise.
"What you hear all the time was Antarctica would be cool but not what happened," said study leader Eric Steig of the University of Washington. Previous studies did show that the temperature in most of the continent at the bottom of the earth remains the same or slightly cooler.
Over the years, the South Pole is the only place that looks odd as if immune from climate perubahah. Increased cold temperatures in some parts of Antarctica into a weapon for some researchers to give the argument that climate change is exaggerated.
However, recent research results mamatahkan assumption is much less done thoroughly in all parts of Antarctica. The scientists who still believe global warming affected Antarctica predicted cooling is only influenced locally by the cold wind blowing into the polar region.
