Indications from Antarctic Research
Support Theory of Warming Globe
By FRANK CAREY
WASHINGTON, UP) — New in
formation gathered in the Antarc
tic tends to confirm the belief of
weathermen that the world is in
the midst of a long-term warming
trend.
This was reported Saturday by
U. S. Weather Bureau scientists.
They said the temperature rise
all over the world is estimated at
no more than two or three de
grees every 100 years.
During the International Geo
physical Year, bureau meteorolo
gists collected extensive records on
the Antarctic continent.
Dr. H. E. Landsberg, director
of the bureau’s office of climatolo
gy. said that while the new Ant
j arctic temperature data is not
conclusive, it’s consistent with the
hypothesis that the entire world
is slowly getting warmer. The
present trend dates from about
the beginning of this century.
The cause:
“We don’t know,” Landsberg
l said. “We know only the effect.
One theory is that the change is
man-made, that a blanket of car
bon dioxide given off by the burn
ing of coal and oil retards the ra
diation of heat by the earth. An
other possible explanation is an
increase in the sun’s radiation.”
Landsberg says that for nine
tenths of its life of between three
billion and six billion years the
earth has been relatively warm —
with the long warm eras occasion
ally disrupted by ice ages.
He says the world is just now
recovering from the last ice age
— with the recovery occurring in
spurts, with ups and downs of
temperature.
“In Alaska, glaciers are re
treating . . . The ice in the Arctic
Ocean is only about half as thick
as it was in the late 19th cen
tury . . . The harbor of Spitzber

gen is open twice as long each
year as it was in 1912 ... In Fin
nish Lapland, trees have advanced
two or .three miles in 30 years . . .
There are other signs in the mi
gration of birds and plants.”
The weather expert added that
there has been a spectacular
warming trend in the last two or
three years along the Pacific
Coast, from California to British
Columbia.
In saying the present general
upward trend started about 1900,
Landsberg said that at New Ha
ven, Conn., where the longest un
interrupted temperature record in
the United States had been kept,
the annual averages stayed at or
slightly below 50 degrees Fahren
heit from 1785 until the end of the
last century.
But after 1900, there was a
steady rise until 52 was touched
in the mid 1930’s. Fluctuations
have followed since that time.
Propose Redaction
In Size of Katmai
Nat. Monument
WASHINGTON, UP) — A reduc
tion in the size of Katmai Na
tional Monument in Alaska was
proposed yesterday by Senator
Bartlett.
In a letter to Secretary of the
Interior Seaton, the senator said
the reduction in the park acreage
could foe brought about without
harming the basic concept.
Bartlett said the monument —
the largest park holding in the
United States — was created at a
time when no thorough explora
tion had been made into the geo
graphic, geologic, scenic and
other values.
He emphasized that his sugges
tion was intended to apply only to
areas which have no proper place
within the park.
“There are sections awe-inspir
ing and almost beyond descrip
tion and these should never, never
be violated,” Bartlett said.
“There are also other areas less
spectacular scenically, perhaps,
but worthy of continued inclusion
for recreational uses. No one, and
that certainly includes me, would
urge that any of this land foe re
stored to the public domain.”
At the same time, he added,
“There very obviously ... is acre
age that has no proper place with
in the monument and I think any
reasonable person will agree to
this after diligent inquiry.”
He asked that Seaton take a
look at the monument boundaries
with a view to eliminating any
land not up to monument stan
dards.
