Antarctica hits 63.5°F as Mitch McConnell promises to sabotage global climate pact

Scientists have measured what is likely the highest temperature ever on Antarctica: 63.5 degrees Fahrenheit (17.5 Celsius).

<snip>

It's hard to draw much conclusion from a single temperature record, cautions Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist with NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City. Last year Antarctica also logged a record cold temperature, he notes.

And what does our Senate Majority leader say to the world about the undeniable climate change that has been observed by 99 % of scientists?

"Considering that two-thirds of the U.S. federal government hasn't even signed off on the Clean Power Plan and 13 states have already pledged to fight it, our international partners should proceed with caution before entering into a binding, unattainable deal."



I don't think Mitch understands - the Earth is warming, if humans don't take action to correct the parts that are correctable, Lonesome George won't be the only turltle without a job.

Climate of Antarctica - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

The highest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica was 17.5 °C at Hope Bay on 24 March 2015.[7] The mean annual temperature of the interior is −57 °C (−70 °F). The coast is warmer. Monthly means at McMurdo Stationrange from −26 °C (−14.8 °F) in August to −3 °C (26.6 °F) in January.[8] At the South Pole, the highest temperature ever recorded was −12.3 °C (9.9 °F) on 25 December 2011.[9] Along the Antarctic Peninsula, temperatures as high as 15 °C (59 °F) have been recorded,[clarification needed] though the summer temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) most of the time. Severe low temperatures vary with latitude, elevation, and distance from the ocean. East Antarctica is colder than West Antarctica because of its higher elevation.[citation needed] The Antarctic Peninsula has the most moderate climate. Higher temperatures occur in January along the coast and average slightly below freezing.

There are different lows and highs for Antarctica from Wiki.................some close to the new record you are blabbing about.................

Look up................Be AFRAID..............BE VERY AFRAID.............THE SKY IS FALLING...............

You and Al should get a dang room.

Scientist said it would shrink.............wrong 3 years running with record ice formations..............

Every time the ice loses some mass they go LOOK............it's shrinking we were right..............right before the ice starts producing at record levels............................

They've been measuring since 1979.............short time in long term studies now isn't it..............Tell me when they actually get it right.

You're not interested in science and record extreme weather? I feel sorry for you...What are you interested in? God???

1)global warming never happened with temperature steady for last 20 years

2) libs changed name to climate change and that never happened either with Accumulated Cyclonic(hurricanes) Index staying the same, not increasing thanks to AGW.


Conservatives seem to have foiled mankind's 10,000th attempt to concentrate power in central govt. In all of human history only our Founders and modern conservatives understood.

i'm interested in making a fool of liberals; but they dont seem to need me much for that since they do it to themselves

wow really?
you are the very same people always lecturing others on the difference between weather and climate; and reminding people how old the planet is; yet here you are using ONE DAY of "record extreme weather" in the 4 billion year existence of Earth as proof positive that not only is the planet warming but it has to be caused by man?


why dont you go back to drooling?

hey! now there is your California drought solution. dig out a river from the north pole to Cally,and when the ice melts, goes right to Callyfornia.

(CNN)A high temperature of 63.5 degrees Fahrenheit might sound like a pleasant day in early spring -- unless you're in Antarctica.

The chilly continent recorded the temperature (15.5 degrees Celsius) on March 24, possibly the highest ever recorded on Antarctica, according to the Weather Underground.

The temperature was recorded at Argentina's Esperanza Base on the northern tip of the Antarctica Peninsula, according to CNN affiliate WTNH. (Note to map lovers: The Argentine base is not geographically part of the South American continent.)

The World Meteorological Organization, a specialized United Nations agency, is in the process of setting up an international ad-hoc committee of about 10 blue-ribbon climatologists and meteorologists to begin collecting relevant evidence, said Randy Cerveny, the agency's lead rapporteur of weather and climate extremes and Arizona State University professor of geographical sciences.

The committee will examine the equipment used to measure the temperature, whether it was in good working order, whether the correct monitoring procedures were followed, whether the equipment was placed in the correct location and whether the measurement is matched by corresponding records from surrounding stations, Cerveny said.

The committee will discuss the issues and make a recommendation to Cerveny, who will make an official finding, probably by late summer or early fall.

Researchers who study climate change carefully watch weather changes in the Antarctic region and elsewhere for evidence that the Earth is getting warmer.

The world is getting warmer. Antarctica doesn't refute AGW. It's just another victim of the idiotic lunacy of deniers.

When the weather is unseasonably warm we're told its global warming.
When the weather is unseasonably cold we're told its climate change.
When the fact fail to support any of it we're told 97% of scientists believe in global warming.
When we point out a) it doesnt matter because science is not a voting proposition, and b) the 97% figure is made up we're told we're anti science.

It snowed in PA on 3/31.

so yea, I'd like that global warming to show the fuck up any time now.

oh and, temperature doesn't mean anything when it doesn't support the fear mongers, only when it does.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

but which scientists? the ones who believe that all pizza parlors also cater gay weddings?

Would you care to tell us that it's never snowed in Pennsylvania on 03/31 before?

Then there's the point that the snow in Pa is due to the polar vortex which is due to global warming. The polar vortex doesn't take place in the southern hemisphere. It's not responsible for the warm temps in Antarctica.

the last 3 years of living here I was wearing shorts and had the heat turned off

so where is my warming?
where is my longer growing season?

don't get me wrong, I want global warming cuz it's fucking cold right now

GOP science funi. Think snow cold so earth must be cold. GOP doesn't know that ice is made of water. Dums dums.

Is Antarctica losing or gaining ice

Antarctica is losing land ice as a whole, and these losses are accelerating quickly.

You are anti science. Always imagining what you are told. The sign of delusion.

Liberals might think they invented the world but what passes for "the highest/lowest temperature EVER RECORDED is a drop in the geological bucket. Do the Al Gore idiot savants think the world is only as old as the first time somebody recorded the temperature on a mercury thermometer? There was a freaking iceberg sitting on top of Manhattan only ten thousand years ago. There are scientific indications that the earth is emerging from a geological mini-ice age and we should be glad about it but nothing is good news to the left unless they can strangle the masses with government regulations.
