What describes the part of antarctica below the equator?

Antarctica. It is all below everything. Including the equator, by far.


Which is warmer Antarctica or Alaska?

Alaska. Antarctica is about 30 degrees F colder than its northern polar counterparts. Alaska is not as far north as Antarctica is south, so it is clearly much warmer than Antarctica.


How many years has the amount of CO2 been rising?

It has been measured empirically since 1957 and has been rising through the entire record. Proxy records show that it has been rising for at least 150 years. Vostok records show a gain for the past 10,000 years. The interesting issue here becomes one of who you should believe on the subject. No one is doubting that CO2 levels have been rising for the past 30 years. Longer term though starts getting far more gray. The "norm" from thousands of observations made in the 1800's showed CO2 levels at 400 PPM to even as high as 440 PPM in the late 1880's. Vostok records show climbing levels of CO2 always following temperature by about 800 years. Thus we see steady climbing for 10,000 years. Alarmists use Vostok records for historical data. They compare these values with global averages for recent times. Under this method we see CO2 growth of 30% Antarctica compared to worldwide. (Antarctica to Antarctica shows far less growth, almost zero) Skeptics point out that the average measured in the 1800's was about 400 ppm, with times showing over 440 ppm. These measurements were performed by noble prize winning scientists. We KNOW that current worldwide averages are about 387 ppm. (Less at the poles) The net result is that are current knowledge of CO2 rise is somewhere between a slight decrease from 1880 to a 30% increase, depending on how, who and where we get the data.


Is Norway near Antarctica?

No, but Norway has claimed part of Antarctica. Norway crosses the ARCTIC circle, i.e. it's close to the NORTH pole while the SOUTH pole lies in the middle of Antarctica - so not only is not not near Antarctica, it's about as far from it as you can get!


How far can scientists go back in time and still have confidence in the climate record?

They can go back several years, to the time when people left things so they can test the old air from the object
