Scientists have created a climate model that they say proves human activities are responsible for global warming not only to the North Pole, but also at the South Pole. Model including data from the Antarctic which relatively little is known.
While the study is quite clear about the role of carbon dioxide emissions from human to cause global warming in the Arctic, less known is about the causes of global warming in Antarctica because of the distance.
Some experts believe thats due to greenhouse gases, while others believe the change in the land in the Antarctic happened due to natural fluctuations in climate.
In a study in this week issue of Nature Geoscience, a team of international scientists report the results of a new model they say shows the human footprint on global warming in Antarctica.
Models include the value of 100 years of temperature data from the Arctic and the temperature is around 50 years recorded by the station in Antarctica.
Temperatures in Antarctica have been collected along the coastal regions, according to scientists because it is very difficult to get in the continent.
When the temperature data from the two continents are connected to the model, the scientists said that the man clearly shows the impact of global warming in the South Pole.
Andrew Monaghan is with the U. S. National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. According to him, News and Views article in Nature.
“That is why this study is important because it shows the human contribution to officially [global warming] for the first time,” he said.
In the teleconference with the press, Monaghan said to be the causes of the increase in temperature was detected along the coast up to half of Antarctica and the frozen, which will lead to greater increases in the sea.
“Although there is no cause that envisioned the next century, there can be a cause of the acceleration [es] melt», he said.
Monaghan expects the effects of global warming will be in Poland, and even after the man to stop greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Hi, does anyone know which the scientists are more concerned about? south or north?
