I suspect it is warming on the Peninsula, being mostly surrounded by water,
I am mostly taking offense to the title of the article, and it's misleading nature.
"Fast-Growing Moss Is Turning Antarctica Green"
Fast-Growing Moss Is Turning Antarctica Green
and the first sentence does not clarify the title statement.
Rising temperatures have boosted the growth rates of seasonal moss on the southern continent over the last 50 years.
Both the title and the opening sentence are misleading.
Moss growing faster than normal on the Peninsula is not the entire southern continent,
and as I have shown from the GISS the temperatures for that zone have not changed much
since we started keeping records.
