      One can take that to mean "the point furthest from the pole" I guess. East and west you can use 0 and 180 longitude as reference points*. The ambiguities arise if you try to go south from the pole (impossible) or (generally) north (infinite options).

    Hearing about the drill getting stuck and lost is heartbreaking after that much work. I’m amazed they couldn’t figure out some way of retrieving it. Shows how truly difficult this process really is.
    Possibly pumping massive amounts of electrical current into the drill which would offer resistance.... basically turning the entire bit into a large heating element.

      That's how the natural cycle works when CO2 is a feedback mechanism, not a driver. Unfortunately, taking carbon out of the ground and putting it into the atmosphere 1 million times faster than it gets deposited turns that cycle on its head and CO2 becomes a driver of climate change. We know it is fossil carbon that is going into the atmosphere because the isotope ratios are changing. This also shows up in the ocean carbonate shells also are absorbing CO2 dissolved in the ocean. We can also tell that much of it is from burning because we can also look at the oxygen content of the atmosphere and it is also decreasing in proportion to the amount of CO2 added.

It is that rises is temperature causes increases in CO2, OR that both temp and CO2 rises are caused by some third mechanism. I know anthropogenic CO2 has increased over the last 100 years. I know the addition is not natural. I am saying it will not cause significant warming, and that what warming their is will not be catastrophic.

    Satellite data have recently revealed that between 2002 and 2019, the mesosphere and lower thermosphere cooled by 3.1 degrees F (1.7 degrees C ). Mlynczak estimates that the doubling of CO2 levels thought likely by later this century will cause a cooling in these zones of around 13.5 degrees F (7.5 degrees C), which is between two and three times faster than the average warming expected at ground level.

      I think it's just a frame of reference useful to people that work in that area so they, at least, know what it means and where someone is referring to. So if you were heading south towards the pole you would just continue onward the same direction, south. To them it would make sense. To the rest of us it makes none. You sort of have to be there.

      @@mikeyoung9810 Yeah. I think you're right. A compass would be a bit useless there so their frame of reference would have to depend on some other parameter. The datum seems to be the mountain range rather than any specific point on the map. I've been told that the range is an extension of the Andes, so perhaps North simply means in the direction of where the range intersects South America. If I'm correct everything would fall into place from there. Although I'm just guessing.

Also there are a lot more variables that we don’t know that affect climate.
