Spring hasarrived earlyfor much of the United States this year , and that is problematic . Disease carriers like mosquitoes get a head start , crops can be effected by the sudden return of frost , allergy sufferers get hit hard , and scientist ’s anxiety are jumping off the chart .

But none of those problems liken to the likely troubles that could come if clime variety stop up induce Antarctica to melt down . In the unsound display case scenario , sea floor would rise by 200 feet and pretty much all premature job on Earth would seem trivial .

In more or less comforting newsworthiness , a higher record temperature was set in 1982 for the whole Antarctic part , which is considered anywhere south of 60 degrees latitude . On January 30th that year , Signy Island in the South Atlantic experienced a very refreshing 67.6 ° F day . So , it ’s not like this is unprecedented butall trendsindicate that things will just keep heating up .
