Antarctica Is Melting Too

"Antarctica, which seemed to have largely escaped the global warming affecting the rest of the planet, is melting too, according to a study."

"Rather than covering the entire Arctic and Antarctic regions, as previous studies have done, they focused only on the grid points where precise measurements have been taken. This made their climate models more accurate, and showed that observed changes in temperatures over the 20th century could only have occurred if the impact of industrial greenhouse gas emissions, and upper atmosphere ozone depletion, are taken into account.
