Over the past 30 years, the South Pole has been warming at a rate that’s 3 times faster than the global average.A new study has found this could have a serious impact on marine life, melting Antarctic ice sheets and rising sea levels.Scientists previously believed the South Pole wasn’t affected by global warming as it’s located deep within Antarctica.Researchers analyzed data from weather stations in the area between 1989 and 2018.They found that the South Pole had warmed 1.8 degrees Celsius over the 30 years.The main cause of the warming was increased sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean.Warming in the Pacific Ocean near Australia resulted in warm air being carried to the South Pole.This highlights that global warming is global and it's making its way to these remote places, Kyle Clem, Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Climate Science.Researchers believe that temperatures in the South Pole will remain below freezing for now.However, they noted that rising temperatures often starts at the coast and works its way inland
