It's Getting Hot in Antarctica, Not Cold

You may have heard that Antarctica is getting cooler, but it's actually not.

The icy region is heating up, according to a study that essentially backs previous global warming research.

The analysis of satellite and weather records for Antarctica shows that freezing temperatures had risen by about 0.8 Fahrenheit since the 1950s.

The author of the study said the temperature rise is "very comparable to the global average", while global warming nay-sayers have used reports of a chilling Antarctica as proof that global warming is a myth.
