Where Global Warming is Most Apparent
OK, the term “global warming” refers to the whole world heating up. But, the world isn’t just heating up at the same rate all over. Some parts are heating up at a greater rate than others.
Antarctica is being hit the hardest - it’s heating up at up to 3 times the rate of other parts of the world! Antarctica has increased in temperature by 2.7 degrees fahrenheit (1.5 degrees Celsius) over the last 30 years.
Interestingly, according to this heat chart of 2005, some parts of Africa are heating up at a similar rate to Antarctica. Note that this chart is showing the rate of the change in temperature - not the actual temperature.
