Remember how Anarctica was a cool place to chill?


Records of wind humidity and temperature from 1971 and 2003 show that the winter season in the artic is warming up according to scientist atmosphere temps of Antarctica’s winter have risen by 27 degrees Fahrenheit (1.5 degrees Celsius). This is due to green house gases, for those of you who don’t know the green house effect is when the sun rays are trapped in the atmosphere because there is too much pollution in the air for them to leave. You are probably asking yourself what does this have to do with me. America is basically a big block of ice, meaning if it melts, which could be 100years from now, the ocean will rise because the loss of islands, even states. Ever wonder why the ocean was so cold? Just think about it.
