|
cooler
|
summers in the
|
antarctic
|
|
| |
|
some
|
scientists
|
from
|
america
|
have
|
taken
|
a look
|
|
|
at
|
weather
|
patterns
|
in the
|
antarctic
|
over
|
the
|
last
|
|
|
35 years
|
and
|
decided
|
that
|
the
|
weather
|
may be
|
|
|
cooling
|
down
|
instead
|
of
|
warming up
|
|
this
|
goes
|
|
|
against
|
the
|
popular
|
greenhouse
|
effect
|
theory
|
|
|
which
|
says
|
that
|
temperatures
|
are
|
getting
|
|
|
generally
|
warmer
|
|
although
|
they
|
do not
|
|
|
completely
|
deny the
|
existence
|
of the
|
greenhouse
|
|
|
effect
|
|
they
|
say
|
that
|
there
|
seems
|
to be a
|
|
|
different
|
pattern
|
in the
|
antarctic
|
|
|
| |
|
the
|
cooler
|
weather
|
is having
|
a bad
|
effect
|
on the
|
|
|
microscopic
|
plankton
|
from
|
the
|
frozen lakes
|
and
|
|
|
tiny worms
|
that
|
live in
|
the regional
|
soil
|
|
their
|
|
|
numbers
|
are getting
|
less
|
and
|
less
|
|
this
|
is
|
|
|
because
|
the
|
cooler
|
air
|
is making
|
the layer
|
of ice
|
|
|
thicker
|
so
|
that
|
the plankton
|
get less
|
light
|
in order
|
|
|
to
|
multiply
|
|
the
|
number
|
of worms
|
is
|
also
|
|
|
falling
|
by approximately
|
10%
|
each
|
year
|
|
|
| |
|
other
|
scientists
|
disagree
|
with
|
these
|
findings
|
and
|
|
|
say
|
that
|
although
|
there
|
may
|
have been
|
recent
|
|
|
cooling
|
|
the
|
overall
|
pattern
|
is
|
that
|
the weather
|
|
|
is
|
undoubtedly
|
warming up
