Antarctica is warming

One of the firm beliefs held by those who study global warming is that change in overall temperature will be most apparent at the poles. We don't notice a warming trend here in the more middle latitudes because the changes that have taken place are much more subtle (although the spring indicators, like first blossoms, birds returning from their winter habitat, etc. have gotten earlier and earlier over the past many decades). This article shows changes that have occurred at the coldest place on Earth; Antarctica.
