After a previous report that Antarctica is cooling, as the hole in the ozone layer was sending heat out through it, new study says that Antarctica is actually getting more and more warm.
Previously there was a study, which said that Antarctica is not much impacted with the global warming and the steady increase of the global temperatures. In fact, the continent is getting cooler due to the hole in the ozone layer.
But all of a sudden, scientists have found a warming pattern in Antarctica, which has been there since 50 years. The data has been gathered by using a complex model combining weather station and satellite data, which reported an average of 0.12 degrees Celsius per decade increase in the surface temperatures of this icy continent.
But there is a contradiction in the pattern of temperature changes in western and eastern parts of Antarctica. In the western part the temperature is been rising since 50 years; but the eastern part of the continent is cooling down since last 30 years.
