Antarctic temperatures not climbing

David Bromwich, professor of geography and researcher with the Byrd Polar Research Center at Ohio State University, reported on this work at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science at San Francisco:

“The best we can say right now is that the climate models are somewhat inconsistent with the evidence that we have for the last 50 years from continental Antarctica.

We’re looking for a small signal that represents the impact of human activity and it is hard to find it at the moment,” he said.
