Changes to the climate due to human activity can now be detected on every continent, following a study showing that temperature rises in the Antarctic as well as the
The study, led by the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia and published in the journal Nature Geoscience, marks the first time scientists have been able to prove the link between human activity and temperature changes in both polar regions, and it also undermines climate skeptics’ claim that the warming trend seen in the Arctic in recent decades is part of natural climatic variability.
The findings contradict the 2007 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which said that
