The north pole is ocean. The south pole is the continent of antartica, which is not owned by any country by law.

It should be warming. We are coming out of an ice age, the little ice age, and we should warm whether human activity contributes or not. Ironically, dumping CO2 into the atmosphere is the greatest thing for renewable energy. The more energy trapped in the biosphere by the greenhouse effect, the more wind, current, and tidal energies available! The proof that this is a natural process is in the existence of fossil fuels themselves. All that coal, oil, and natural gas was once living stuff and all living stuff ultimately gets its carbon from carbon dioxide via photosynthesis. We are not releasing greehouse gasses, we are recycling them back to the atmosphere. Ever been to Florida? The Florida penninsula is a massive dead coral reef. Coral reefs don't grow above ground so you know sea levels were once high enough to cover all of southern Florida and if we believe in cycles then Florida is destined to go under again.

The poles are points on the earth's surface through which the axis of rotation passes. The poles actually shift a few kilometres over a few years!

QFL is correct. The north pole, the arctic is just frozen ocean...there is no land underneath. Not the same for antarctica

Antarica is considered a continent.
