South pole warming three times faster than rest of the world, our research shows | Kyle Clem for the Conversation

Dramatic change in Antarctica's interior in past three decades a result of effects from tropical variability working together with increasing greenhouse gases

Over the past 30 years, the south pole has been one of the fastest-changing places on Earth, warming more than three times more rapidly than the rest of the world.
