Antarctica Hits Record High

More evidence of global warming. When will the world come to its senses? What a terrible problem to leave to our future generations.

An Argentine research base near the northern tip of the Antarctic peninsula has set a heat record at a balmy 63.5° Fahrenheit (17.5 degrees Celsius), the U.N. weather agency said on Wednesday.

Antarctica has existed for many billions of years and suddenly humans have doomed it and the rest of the planet to climate destruction. I thought Obama could save us from ourselves but looks like that's not going to happen.

 

Sorry but I couldn't get any farther than the picture of the two forlorn penguins on the lonely hunk of ice. It reminded me too much of the fake news polar bear on a piece of iceberg from years ago.

 

Sounds like a good reason to dismiss scientific evidence.

 

It's a good reason to assume it's fake news

 

What are the "normal" temperature ranges for that very Northern part of Antarctica which by the way is the closest point of Antartica to Argentine/Chilean most Souther lands.

 

How about the Larsen Shelf?

 

WRONG!

Antarctica as we know it today was formed around 35 million years ago.

What incredibly meaningless twaddle!

Don't you denier cultists always assume that about all climate science, no matter how well documented and confirmed it may be?

 

So much of it is as climategate proved beyond a doubt. The penguin pic made that article not worth reading though, that's has fake news written all over it. "A pictures worth a thousand words"

 

Volunteer to buy a segment of sea wall and go install it to protect antarctica if you so desire. In the mean time, what have you done to save the planet today vs. what have you done to exacerbate carbon dioxide release today?

 

Your so-called 'climategate' only "proved beyond a doubt" how extremely gullible you denier cultists are, and how utterly ignorant about actual science you are. Your rejection of the scientific report the OP is based on just demonstrates how deep in demented denial of reality you actually are.

If Antarctica is getting warmer the ice shelves would collapse... Wait a minute...

 

says the guy wasting energy to do something as inane as posting on an internet forum.

 

Russia will finally have plenty of ocean access.

 

My zero-energy home is functioning quite well - thank you...

 

I took an ice cube out of the freezer, and it didn't melt right away. Conclusion - it's not going to melt.

 

So how are you on the internet if you are at a zero energy home?

 

Zero energy home? Interesting, can you expound on that?

 

Every time there's a record low somewhere it's just weather while every time there's a record high it's " more evidence of global warming". Funny how that works.

 

And at the same time, record cold temps shattered in Russia. It's weather, what's your point?

And yet your internet usage suggests otherwise....

 

Evidence of weather is not evidence of global warming.

 

What is happening with those super high temperatures in Antarctica is further scientific evidence of climate change, not weather.

 

So given your assertion, those record cold temps in Russia are also then evidence of climate change and not weather? Does all climate have to change globally to reflect these changes? So those "super cold" temps are scientific evidence of this, right?

 

Although it's clearly beyond your comprehension, those "record cold temps in Russia" are, in fact, also evidence of climate change in a warming world. Russian winters are always pretty severe but it got a bit colder this year because the changes in the jet stream caused by the loss of Arctic ice have been bringing warmer air to the Arctic and pushing colder Arctic air farther to the south. So Russia got a few degrees cooler and the North Pole very freakishly got tens of degrees warmer.

Freakishly warm weather hits North Pole days before Christmas

Temperatures at the North Pole soared to the melting point of 32 degrees Thursday, according to data from a nearby weather buoy. That might not sound balmy, but it's some 40 to 50 degrees above average at what's typically an unimaginably cold, pitch-black point in mid-winter.

In fact, the average winter temperature at the North Pole is about 40 degrees below zero, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution said.

The warm spell was predicted by weather models earlier this week and marks the second straight December of freakish warmth spreading across the Arctic due to weird weather patterns. The cause this time around is a powerhouse storm east of Greenland, said Capital Weather Gang meteorologist Jason Samenow.

Counter-clockwise flow around the storm "is doing a wonderful job of (bringing) warm, moist maritime air over the Arctic sea ice and North Pole," WeatherBell meteorologist Ryan Maue said.

"It's clear that this warming event will be 'close enough' to freezing to be considered an extreme event like previous such warmings," Maue added.

The warmth should last for the next few days, before the "Siberian Express" takes over, bringing back typical cold over the region, he said.

A lack of sea ice appears to be playing a role: Record low levels of sea ice in the Arctic are contributing to the record high temperatures, noted Mashable's Andrew Freedman.

Sea ice is ocean water that freezes each fall and winter and melts during the spring and summer. The fact that it was melting in November due to record warmth was "nearly unprecedented," according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Temperatures in the Arctic in November were about 30 to 35 degrees above normal, the National Snow and Ice Data Center reported.

America's favorite winter bugaboo, the Polar Vortex, is also involved. Now in a weakened state, the most frigid air has moved out of the Arctic and pushed into North America and Eurasia, Freedman said.

Parts of central Russia are now as much as 62 degrees below zero, according to Maue.

The unusual Arctic warmth is hitting once or twice per decade now, and the increasing occurrence of these "extreme warming" events is mainly attributed to an influx of warm, moist Nordic Sea air, Maue said.

Some scientists believe man-made global warming is also a factor in the bizarre Arctic weather.

"The loss of the sea ice, the increased melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet, the thawing of permafrost, the changes in the weather patterns, the rising sea level — it's all consistent with our expectations for the response of the climate system to increases in greenhouse gases," Rutgers University atmospheric scientist Jennifer Francis told LiveScience.

"What's not expected is how fast it's been happening," she added.

 

You have just blown all credibility.
