The Antarctic is rapidly greening due to climate change global warming, according to a new study Friday from the British Antarctic Survey and the universities of Exeter and Hertfordshire.

“The Siberian primrose is a good example of a species threatened by rapidly advancing climate change. It cannot migrate to more favorable conditions due to geographic constraints, leaving adaptation in its current habitat as its only survival option,” said study co-author Professor Marko Hyvärinen.

Weather attribution science uses real-world data and models to establish if and how climate change influences the intensity and likelihood of a specific event.

Antarctica's icy landscapes are turning green due to extreme heat, with vegetation increasing over tenfold in 40 years. Researchers warn this change, particularly in the Antarctic Peninsula, may harm local wildlife and alter the region's climate dynamics.

In the last four decades, there has been a dramatic tenfold rise in vegetation cover on the Antarctic Peninsula. This new revelation comes from the universities of Exeter and Hertfordshire, and the British Antarctic Survey.
