Why is Global Warming more in Antarctica than In Arctic region?

Question

Why is Global Warming more in Antarctica than In Arctic region?

Answer 1

Equator

Answer 2

In World War ll we were fighting two wars against the Germans and Japanese well we all know about the atom bomb we dropped on Japan. At the end of the war they knew the Germans had a submarine base in Antartica and instead of destroying it with conventional bombs the military used another atom bomb to destroy the base. That bomb blowed a hole in the ozone layer above the antartica letting in the suns rays and it is not repairable.

Answer 3

I think you have that reversed, the arctic has warmed slightly in recent years due to normal cyclic variations, the antarctic is colder if anything.

There is no such thing as "global warming" the climate goes through cycles, it is NOT static. People use these variations to convice uninformed people that there is a "crisis" that requires vast resources to fix. Of course these same people own shares in the companies that provide "solutions" to the problem they are promoting. How convenient.

Answer 4

It's not.

Answer 5

Global warming is a hoax!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

i think its colder in that area, and the snow will be mealtin from there with the ice at the same time..

Answer 7

My quick answer on this the northern hemisphere has most of the worlds population so a much higher consumption of fossil fuel. I have been living in the Middle east for 8 months now and it is possible to look at the sun in the mornings for one hour or so because the haze is so thick ( { I really miss the clear mornings in OZ }

Answer 8

Actually you've got it backwards - it's more in the northern hemisphere (Arctic) than southern (Antarctic).  It's because the southern hemisphere has more oceans while the northern hemisphere has more land area.  Oceans absorb heat, so the more ocean water, the slower the warming will be.

As a matter of fact, scientists predicted that the southern hemisphere would warm more slowly 28 years ago.  

“the influence of deep sea thermal storage could delay the full value of temperature increment predicted by equilibrium models by 10 to 20 years”

Answer 9

well it is happening everywhere but heres the thing it shows more effect there do to the ice so its melting but you may notice that its getting kind of hot were you live hotter than usual.

Answer 10

It is NOT !!! it is summer in the arctic and winter time in Antarctica.Global Warming has nothing to do with it.

Answer 11

As Bramble and Marc have said...

Global warming is Global; the effects of GW may be experienced differently in different regions but this is not the same as saying GW varies.

The variation between the poles has a lot to do with:

Landmasses (south pole has one, north doesn't);

Ocean currents;

Wind patterns.

The last two being particularly complex.

Answer 12

Global warming is namely global and not especially more or less in any particular region.

What is particularly bad about the south pole is that much of its ice is on land (in contrast to the north pole where it floats on the sea). The melting of much of the south pole ice will therefore cause the sea level to rise but the north pole melting not.

So not the warming itself but the effect is more serious from the south pole.

By the way I notice many other answerers on the global warming subject are strongly denying that global warming exists and even dismissing it as a hoax.  I'm afraid they are very wrong!  The existence of global warming is very well established and undenied by the scientific world.  However the reasons for it are not so clear as many would have it and unsubtantiated reasons are being given, distorted and promoted for purely political or financial ends.
