Antarctica appears to have broken a heat record By Christina Larson | Associated Press WASHINGTON — The temperature in northern Antarctica hit nearly 65 degrees (18.3 degrees Celsius), a likely heat record on the continent best known for snow, ice and penguins. The reading was taken Thursday at an Argentine research base and still needs to be verified by the World Meteorological Organization. “Everything we have seen thus far indicates a likely legitimate record," Randall Cerveny, who researches records for the organization, said in a statement. He added that he is waiting for full data to confirm. The research base, called Esperanza, sits on a peninsula that juts up toward the southern tip of South America. The peninsula has warmed significantly over the past half century — almost 5.4 degrees (3 C), according to the World Meteorological Organization. Cerveny said the unusually high temperature was likely due, in the short term, to a rapid warming of air coming down from a mountain slope. The previous record of 63.5 degrees (17.5 C) was set in March 2015. https://www.foxnews.com/science/antarctica-appears-to-have-broken-a-heat-record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in Mich Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Not sure this question belongs here but thought it could be interesting if you feel like thinking about it. Hypothesis: If the glaciers melt they will raise sea levels. I know it will be incredibly gradual when it occurs but still they will rise over time. How does that impact rivers that flow into these raised oceans? Won't rivers need to rise too to be at the same level in order to flow as they do today? If so, does that mean that Lake Ontario will accumulate water gradually in order to keep flowing out the St Lawrence? Above the Falls, the Great Lakes wouldn't see any changes, right? Might other rivers deepen or even form lakes, or no ? What do the deep thinkers here think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mouth moves upstream as the body of water it flows into has grown and now encompasses where the mouth previously was.

The Great Lakes are actually getting smaller and it has nothing to do with "global warming" today but actually has to do with global warming thousands of years ago. The massive weight of the glaciers pushed down the crust if the earth. As the glaciers receded. the land is still rebounding to this day. There are spots on Lake Huron where you can see where the shoreline was hundreds of years ago. They are like 50 feet above the current lake level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
