A strange thing is happening in the Antarctic, according to a recent study by the American Meteorological Society (AMS), the temperature in part of Earth’s Southern region has actually fallen between 1999 and 2018, the DailySceptic reports.

According to the AMS, the temperature in the Western Antarctic fell by 2 degrees over this 20-year period. The organization made up of international scientists came to this conclusion after studying several databases which are tracking temperatures from weather stations based in the Antarctic including the Marie Byrd station.

The study also noted that for the most part, the weather stations consistently showed the same cooling trend taking place.

In their report, the AMS blamed the cooling on natural causes most particularly the drop in the temperature in water temperature in the Eastern Pacific equatorial region.

Of course, few in the mainstream media acknowledged this cooling trend or the report because it doesn’t fit their current political agenda.

And with volcanos becoming active around the world

What is also not being widely reported is that scientists have found 91 volcanos beneath the Eastern icecap of the Antarctic, leading some to wonder if the heat that can turn rock into molten lava could melt ice?

For the record, lava can reach temperatures well in excess of 1,600 Fahrenheit (ca. 871 °C).

And there are volcanos in the Arctic

Along with the recent warning of a pending volcanic eruption in Iceland, it should surprise no one that there are also active volcanos located under the Arctic ice cap. Recent research suggests that this is responsible for the melt taking place in the far north, not SUVs in New York City.
