"Climate of Antartica" delves into the concerning global warming phenomena in Antarctica. Since 1957, the continent-wide surface temperature has shown a significant positive trend of over 0.05 °C/decade. Notably, the West Antarctic ice sheet has warmed by more than 0.1 °C/decade in the past 50 years, mainly in winter and spring.

Research from 2009 indicated a consistent warming trend since the 1950s in Antarctica, potentially linked to human-induced climate change. NASA scientist Drew Shindell highlighted the role of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels in this warming. A more recent 2017 study revealed temperature shifts on the Antarctic Peninsula, transitioning from a warming trend in the late 20th century to a cooling trend in the early 21st century.
