There has been a flurry of reports of a "clear" warming trend in Antarctica. From what I have found the report refer to a recent article that was based on modeled temps for the past 50 years and a few variable quality recording stations. The grand result was a ~0.5 C "warming". I haven't seen anything in the popular press that included the + or - needed with this, especially since it is a modeled result. I assume with the error bars this "warming" could be zero, or even cooling!! The results for the South Pole itself, which still averages around -50 C annually show a cooling, but that story is buried, of course.
Enjoying the global warming event we are currently having in DC. It is about 1-3 inches and counting!
