Antarctic temperatures disagree with climate model predictions

A new report on climate over the world's southernmost continent shows that temperatures during the late 20th century did not climb as had been predicted by many global climate models. This comes soon after the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that strongly supports the conclusion that the Earth's climate as a whole is warming, largely due to human activity. It follows a finding last summer by the same researchers showing no increase in Antarctic precipitation in 50 years.

   Scientists from the NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research obtained for the first time a detailed temperature record for tropical central Africa over the past 25,000 years. The scientists developed an entirely new method to reconstruct the history of land temperatures based on the molecular fossils of soil bacteria. The results have been published in this week's issue of Science.
