Global climate models both agree and disagree with actual Antarctic data Scientists who compared recorded Antarctic temperatures and snowfall accumulation to predictions by major computer models of global climate change offer both good and bad news. The models' predictions covering the last 50 years broadly follow the actual

Climate models overheat Antarctica, new study finds Computer analyses of global climate have consistently overstated warming in Antarctica, new research concludes. The study can help scientists improve computer models and determine if Earth's southernmost continent will warm significantly this century, a m

Global warming linked to caribou-calf mortality Research to be published on 12 July 2008 reveals that fewer caribou calves are being born -- and more of them are dying -- in West Greenland as a result of a warming climate. The researchers believe that caribou may serve as an indicator species for clim
