In all the talk about global warming and manmade climate change, one thing that was always missing from the discussion was any talk about Antarctica.  The continent on the bottom of the world was not fitting the pattern that global warming advocates were seeing – it simply wasn’t getting warmer there.  In fact, it seemed to actually be getting cooler.

A new study released in the latest issue of Nature challenges the facts though as we understood them.  By going further than previous work and using satellite data, the study claims that Antarctica in fact has been warming – we just didn’t know it.  Satellites proved useful in coming to the study’s conclusions and filling in gaps because the continent, which is twice the size of the United States, has few monitoring stations in its interior.

The problem with this claim?  It looks like not everyone agrees on the methods the authors used.  Even those that are firm believers in the manmade climate change theory aren’t so sure this study is accurate!
