Warming in Antarctica would reach „between 0.22°C and 0.32°C per decade,“ twice as much as in the rest of the world, scientists estimated in a study published Thursday. The warming of Antarctica, twice as high as in the rest of the world, is much greater than climate models estimate, the scientists wrote in a study published Thursday, September 7, after analyzing dozens of ice cores. Scientists based in France, Germany and the United Kingdom used data from 78 cores taken in Antarctica to track climate evolution over 1,000 years. The method makes it possible to compensate for the lack of data from the white continent, where there are few weather stations and where satellite data is incomplete. Regarding warming in Antarctica, "the results we obtain are 20 to 50 % higher than the predictions of climate models," explains to AFP Mathieu Casado of the Laboratory of Climate and Environmental Sciences, author of the study published in the journal Nature Climate.(FRANCE 24)
