ANTARCTIC CLIMATE MODEL
90 million years ago, Antarctica had a temperate forest just 900 kilometers from the South Pole despite months of darkness. 90 million years later, scientists found its roots, pollen and spores preserved in seafloor sediment beneath today's frozen continentAncient West Antarctica hosted a temperate rainforest approximately ninety million years ago. Fossil roots and pollen indicate dense vegeta...- In 2015, a British swimmer entered Antarctica’s freezing sea wearing only swimming trunks; his campaign helped protect 1.57 million square kilometersBritish swimmer Lewis Pugh undertook daring Antarctic swims to advocate for ocean protection. His "Speedo diplomacy" approach helped secure...

- Antarctic Ice Sheet has impact on climate changeSan Francisco, Dec 14 (IANS) The Antarctic Ice Sheet plays a major role in regional and global climate variability, researchers said.
- Climate change may lead to substantial rise in sea levelUsing state-of-the-art computer modelling, Golledge and his colleagues simulated the ice-sheet's response to a warming climate.
- Climate change may lead to substantial rise in sea level"If we lose these ice shelves, the Antarctic contribution to sea-level rise by 2100 will be nearer 40 centimetres," said Golledge.
- Melting of Antarctic ice shelves may double by 2050Ice shelves are the floating extensions of the continent's massive land-based ice sheets.
