Antarctic temperatures are rising fast

In Science magazine on March 31, Dr. John Turner of the British Antarctic Research Institute said that the air temperature in Antarctica has increased three times faster than the average Earth's temperature for 30 years. by.

According to the results of data analysis from meteorological bubbles, the Antarctic troposphere not only warms up but its warming speed is highest compared to any other place in the world.

Data show that the entire troposphere heats up in the winter months, while the stratosphere (located on the troposphere) is cooler.

The cause of this phenomenon is because greenhouse gases (such as CO2) are creating a 'blanket' of Earth, retaining the temperature at lower levels, causing the Earth's surface and the troposphere to warm up. , while cooling the stratosphere above.

In the past 30 years, troposphere temperature in Antarctica increased by 0.5 - 0.70C per decade. This is a sign that global warming is affecting the different regions of Earth and Antarctica is the most affected area.
