Weather Channel Founder Claims ‘Global warming the greatest scam in history’

May 26, 2026 Antarctica Journal

The open deliberation about environmental change is done – on the grounds that it has been completely demonstrated NOT to exist, one of the world’s best known environmental change doubter has asserted. John Coleman, who helped to establish the Weather Channel, stunned scholastic’s by demanding the hypothesis of man-rolled out atmosphere improvement was no more deductively dependable. Rather, what ‘little […]

Antarctic peaks reveal sea rise threat

May 26, 2026 Antarctica Journal

Back in 2015 British researchers have reinforced recent evidence that melting in the Antarctic caused by the warming of the Southern Ocean could ultimately lead to global sea levels rising by around three meters. Their findings were in line with the results of a study that said six more decades of ocean warming could destabilize the ice beside the Amundsen […]

Antarctica’s ice sheet and The Landscape Below

Aerial view of rugged mountainous terrain with glacial water in between the peaks.

A groundbreaking new map offers an unprecedented glimpse beneath Antarctica’s ice sheet, revealing the continent’s hidden topography with remarkable precision. This high-resolution terrain map, known as the Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA), was released by researchers at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in September 2018. The REMA provides detailed imagery down to the size of a car in some areas, […]

Diesel Fumes Alter Bees Sense Of Smell

May 13, 2026 Antarctica Journal

In polluted environments, diesel fumes may be reducing the availability of almost half the most common flower odors that bees use to find their food, research has found. The new findings suggest that toxic nitrous oxide (NOx) in diesel exhausts could be having an even greater effect on bees’ ability to smell out flowers than was previously thought. NOx is […]

Antarctica’s Balmy Past

May 8, 2026 Antarctica Journal

When the atmosphere had much higher levels of carbon dioxide, Antarctica was as warm as California. New research has revealed that 430 million to 50 million years ago, temperatures on the frozen continent averaged 57 degrees Fahrenheit, with part of the surrounding Pacific Ocean reaching up to 72 degrees. In this ancient era, known as the Eocene epoch, carbon dioxide […]

CARBON FOUND IN PEAT SWAMP IN CONGO BASIN

May 2, 2026 Antarctica Journal

In the center of Africa’s Congo Basin, they have found about 30 billion metric tons of carbon that is equal to 20 years of US fossil fuel emissions. While using satellite imagery scientists have found 56,000 square feet of highly acidic swamp with depths of 20 feet. This area is the largest peatland found in the Tropics. Being highly acidic […]

Antarctica Air Is Getting Warmer

April 27, 2026 Antarctica Journal

New South Wales and southern Queensland are going to be suffering from warmer weather and less rain than in the past. This temperature change is called “sudden stratospheric warming.” It happens when the air above the South Pole starts to warm up rapidly. Predictions are that the warming of Antarctic will likely be higher than a previous record high in […]

Vines strangle carbon storage in tropical forests

April 23, 2026 Antarctica Journal

Tropical forests account for a third of the total carbon fixed by photosynthesis. Lianas’ increasing abundance may be driven by changing climate, increased disturbance or by more severe seasonal drought. By reducing the ability of tropical forests to accumulate and store carbon released through burning fossil fuels, lianas could cause a positive feedback loop, accelerating climate change. “This study has […]

Melting sea ice may lead to more life in the sea

April 20, 2026 Antarctica Journal

When spring arrives in the Arctic, both snow and sea ice melt, forming melt ponds on the surface of the sea ice. Every year, as global warming increases, melting sea ice leads to more and larger melt ponds. Melt ponds provide more light and heat for the ice and the underlying water, but now it turns out that they may […]
