Satellite data proves Antartica is warming
Despite the warming trend that is hitting the rest of the planet, it’s been long thought that Antarctica is actually getting colder. Global warming skeptics point to Antarctica’s cooling off as evidence that climate change is a myth. But now scientists using satellite data have determined that Antarctica is actually warming, much like the rest of the planet. One of the researchers, NASA climate scientist Drew Shindell, joins us to explain the findings.
