Still well below freezing. Ice has added at spectacular rates. When it is a degree above -180 and it gets warmer, no need to worry.

My, but you are a liar.

Record temperatures

What is tragic is that you have no concept of what is actually happening. By the way, Dr. Curry states that the climate is changing, and that we need to study it more. Her problem is that she is suggesting we find the source of the ignition before we begin to fight the fire in the house.

Solar made up 72.6% of all new electrical generation in 2025. Combined with wind, renewables made up 88.4% of all new generation in the US in 2025. I would not be surprised to see 2026 exceed those numbers.

Record is a fiction used by you. I will give you records. Death Valley reached its highest temperature in 1913 and the heat lasted days on end.

And Portland, Oregon had 116 F on 21June2021. The same day a little town on the Fraser river in BC had 121 F, and the next day the town burned. But no matter what evidence is shown to you, you will continue to lie about it.

Record Heat Temperatures Rising in the Last Decade​

Over the past decade, record-breaking heat has become increasingly common worldwide, with the 10 warmest years on record occurring between 2015 and 2024 Climate.gov. Global average surface temperatures in 2024 were 2.32 °F (1.18 °C) above the 20th-century average and 2.62 °F (1.35 °C) above pre-industrial levels Climate.gov. NASA confirms 2024 was the hottest year since modern records began in 1880, with temperatures about 2.65 °F (1.47 °C) warmer than the mid-19th century NASA.

Global Trends​

• Accelerated warming: Since 1982, the global temperature rise has been more than three times faster than the long-term average of 0.11 °F per decade since 1850 Climate.gov.
• Unprecedented heat streaks: 2024 saw 15 consecutive months of monthly temperature records, the longest such streak in modern history NASA.
• Hemispheric and regional extremes: 2024 was the warmest year on record for both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, as well as for land and ocean areas Climate.gov.

U.S. and Local Patterns​

Climate Central’s analysis of 247 U.S. cities shows that in the 2020s, 88% of locations set more daily heat records than cold records from 2020–2024 Climate Central. Cities like Tampa, Phoenix, Miami, San Juan, and Reno have set dozens of heat records with no cold records in recent years. Heat extremes are now occurring year-round, not just in summer, and the rate of record-setting heat in the 2010s may exceed the 1930s Dust Bowl period Climate Central.

Causes​

Scientists attribute this rapid warming to heat-trapping greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, with record emissions in 2022–2023 contributing to the trend NASA. The current pace of warming is on track to reach 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels within decades, a threshold the Paris Agreement aims to avoid NASA.

In summary: The last decade has seen a dramatic increase in record heat globally, with 2024 as the hottest year on record, more heat records than cold records in most U.S. cities, and a warming trend far faster than in the past century.

Conclusion​

Ultimately, Judith Curry’s beliefs about global warming are complex and best understood through the lens of her evolving perspectives. While she recognizes the reality of climate change, her insistence on acknowledging uncertainties showcases a commitment to scientific rigor rather than blind acceptance of consensus. Whether you align with her interpretations or not, her contributions encourage discussion and critical thinking about climate science, emphasizing that the journey toward understanding climate dynamics is ongoing and requires contributions from various viewpoints.

On the contrary, the chart clearly shows after 1997, there is a very clear increase in the average temperature. The linear solution for the curve is a bit misleading, as if one considers the temperature increase for the last decade, you would see a bend upward. Right now we are seeing a vast increase in extreme weather events, particularly at the poles.

Record-Breaking Heat in Antarctica This Year​

Antarctica is experiencing an unprecedented winter heatwave in 2026, with temperatures far above seasonal norms and raising serious concerns among climate scientists.

Record temperatures
On June 6, 2026, the Argentinian Esperanza Base on the Trinity Peninsula recorded a staggering 15.4°C, the highest winter temperature ever measured on the continent — about 20°C above the normal austral winter average of -6.2°C Euronews+1. This shattered the previous winter record of 13.3°C set in 1998 by more than 2°C informedclearly.com. Other Argentine stations also saw extreme anomalies: Marambio Base hit 11.8°C and San Martín Base reached 9.4°C Noticias Ambientales+1.

Duration and scope
The heatwave has persisted for three consecutive weeks with maximum daily temperatures above 0°C in some areas Euronews+1. Unusually strong warm winds from the north have swept across much of the Antarctic Peninsula, bringing record warmth to Chilean and Argentine research sites Euronews.

Environmental impacts

• Snow and ice loss: Normally, the area has 20 cm of snow cover in winter, but bare ground is now visible in some regions Euronews+1.
• Glacier melting: On King George Island, rain has melted ice at the summit of the Collins Glacier, an area that should be receiving snow Euronews+1.
• Ecosystem stress: The sudden warmth and rain are disrupting polar-adapted species, including penguin colonies informedclearly.com.
• Sea level rise: Accelerated melting contributes to global sea level rise informedclearly.com.

Scientific context
Climatologist Raúl Cordero of the University of Groningen called the event “absolutely crazy” and “a huge anomaly” Euronews+1. Experts note that such extreme events are becoming more likely due to human-caused climate change, with models suggesting they could become up to 20 times more frequent under high emissions scenarios informedclearly.com. Past extreme heatwaves, like those in East Antarctica in 2024, have also been linked to a weakened polar vortex allowing warm, moist air to penetrate the continent informedclearly.com.

Bottom line: This year’s heatwave is not just an isolated weather event — it is part of a warming trend that is rapidly altering Antarctica’s landscape, ecosystems, and long-term climate stability. Scientists warn that the continent’s future “depends on the choices we make today” Euronews.

Antarctica ahs more ice today. Human caused climate change is a lie. CO2 does nit make the earth hotter it makes it greener.99% of the climate is controlled by the sun.

Renewables’ Share of U.S. Electricity Generation in 2025​

In 2025, renewable energy sources provided about 26% of total U.S. electricity generation Renewables Now+1. This includes wind, solar, hydropower, biomass, and geothermal.

Breakdown of Renewable Contributions​

• Wind power: ~10% of total U.S. electricity Renewable Energy Magazine.
• Solar power: ~9% of total U.S. electricity, with utility-scale solar alone at ~6.86% and small-scale (rooftop) solar at ~2.16% Renewable Energy Magazine.
• Hydropower, biomass, and geothermal: Together made up the remainder of the renewable share, with hydropower alone accounting for roughly 5.4% of total generation Renewables Now.

Context​

• Wind and solar together accounted for nearly 19% of total U.S. electricity in 2025, surpassing both coal and nuclear generation Renewables Now.
• This 26% share marks a significant increase from 24.1% in 2024, reflecting strong growth in solar capacity and output Renewables Now.
• Fossil fuels still dominated, with natural gas at about 41% and coal at 17% of total generation U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

In summary: In 2025, renewables generated just over a quarter of the U.S. electricity supply, with wind and solar leading the charge and hydropower, biomass, and geothermal making up the rest.

Why Solar Companies Go Out Of Business​

In 2023 – 2025, the solar industry saw many contractors go out of business, a trend driven by a confluence of economic and policy factors.

Higher Interest Rates​

Federal Reserve’s Rate Hike: The Federal Reserve raised interest rates to combat inflation, inadvertently affecting the solar sector. Higher interest rates have made borrowing more expensive, discouraging consumers from investing in solar energy systems. This drop in consumer demand hit solar contractors hard, as their business model relies heavily on a steady flow of new installations.

Consumer Sentiment and Solar Investments: With increased borrowing costs, the allure of solar energy as a cost-saving investment diminished. Potential customers became more hesitant to undertake large expenditures, especially for systems perceived as long-term investments.

Escalating Working Capital Costs​

Borrowing Challenges for Solar Companies: Solar contractors typically rely on borrowed capital to finance their operations and projects. The rise in interest rates significantly increased their cost of capital. This surge in working capital costs strained their financial resources, leading to cash flow issues and, for some, insolvency.

 

[Hafar1014]

Its the year that switched back to Fossil fuels and nuclear. Solar companies are going broke and wind turbines have been canceled in record numbers.

Antarctica ahs more ice today. Human caused climate change is a lie. CO2 does nit make the earth hotter it makes it greener.99% of the climate is controlled by the sun.

Is Antarctica’s Ice Less Than in Previous Decades?​

Recent observations show both sea ice and ice sheet mass are changing in ways that differ from earlier decades, but the overall trend is complex and regionally variable.

Sea ice extent
Since 1979, Antarctic sea ice has been highly variable year to year, with record highs and lows. However, the long-term trend is nearly flat over the past few decades Climate.gov. In recent years, though, there has been a worrying shift:

• The 2023 summer minimum was a record low, 1.05 million km² below the 1981–2010 average Climate.gov.
• By 2024, the annual minimum was the second-lowest on record, 30% below the 1981–2010 average NASA.
• This marks the longest streak of below-average summer minimums in the satellite record, suggesting a possible long-term decline in sea ice cover Climate.gov+1.
  Scientists note that while natural variability is still large, the recent low extents may signal a shift linked to global climate change NASA.

Ice sheet mass
Satellite gravity measurements (GRACE/GRACE-FO) show that Antarctica has lost about 135 gigatons of ice per year on average from 2002 to 2025 NASA Scientific Visualization Studio.

• West Antarctica has been losing mass rapidly, driven by warm ocean waters melting ice shelves and glaciers.
• East Antarctica has seen modest gains from snowfall, but these are outweighed by losses elsewhere NASA Scientific Visualization Studio.
• Since 2020, iceberg calving has increased by nearly 100 gigatons per year compared to the previous two decades, even as snowfall has surged ESA Climate Change Initiative. This means the ice sheet is still losing more to the ocean than it is gaining from snow.

Summary

• Sea ice: Recent years show record-low summer extents, suggesting a possible long-term decline, though the long-term trend since 1979 is not statistically significant Climate.gov+1.
• Ice sheet mass: Antarctica is losing ice overall, with the rate of loss increasing in some regions, despite some snowfall increases NASA Scientific Visualization Studio+1.

In short, Antarctica’s ice is not uniformly less than in previous decades, but both sea ice and ice sheet mass are showing signs of change — with sea ice at historic lows and ice sheet mass loss accelerating in some areas.

They cant be built without tax support because they dont work in the first place. Wind is the dumbest most expensive most destructive way to generate energy and they are ugly too. They pollute the air with carbon fibers which end up in our lungs. What great idea. Trump is correct. The future is fossil fuels and nuclear. Coal is back to.

is complete BS as usual.

The "recent observations" are the same as the past 40 million years - every year Antarctica grows a new ice layer on top, what the ice cores prove. Antarctica has gained ice mass for 40 million years, and has yet to reach "equilibrium" where the mass of the new layer equals iceberg calving losses, why it keeps growing.

 

[Stryder50]

Well sure. No surprise there. How could it be any different? Really proves nothing.

• Nuclear plant construction remains nil after the Chernobyl and 3 Mile Island incidents, which were really a combination of terrible human error + horrific design, not the technology itself.
• Hydro plants are already established at all of the places which are conducive to good hydro.
• Gas generation is allied with oil production, both already at a peak.
• No one is going to build any more coal plants.

So what else is there but wind and solar?

1. These are the newest and least used technologies so have nowhere to go but up.
2. These are the easiest and cheapest to expand on.
3. There are plenty of investors shoving money to expand the technology and continue research.
4. This is the market which offrs the greatest profits for commercial developers to sell to consumers.

Actually many coal plants have been or will be closing due to legislation mandates.
Ironically the USA is one of the few major nations that leads with "clean coal" via mandated treatment of flue by product via FGD;

Flue-gas desulfurization - Wikipedia​

With reduced output from coal power, the figures for solar and wind are distorted.
Note also that generating capacity isn't the same as actual generated power.
Solar is working at night or with heavy overcast.
Wind is working when the wind don't blow.

With actual electrical output from coal and gas declining (due to shut-downs) there is an illusion of how much wind and solar are providing. The percentage share goes up, but total output increase doesn't match;

Im actually trying to put in 6000 watts of Solar right now. Its NOT CHEAP except the Portable Inverters prices have dropped BIG TIME.

I bought the Pecron F5000. extra batter cost $3200. It can output 7200 Watts and my storage is 10 4 KWHs. It can handle my Well pump with a hugh Lock Rotor current. Can run my fridge and freezers for about 11 hours.

If you want back up UPS power for power outages it works great.

Have someone who needs oxygen? Will run that thing for about 14 hours.

Now I know its Not saving the planet. It has polluted the hell out of China.
