At nearly 65 degrees Fahrenheit, AA has broken all the records.

Antarctica registers record temperature as climate change progresses

Antarctica just set its hottest temperature ever recorded at 64.9 degrees Fahrenheit as climate change continues to accelerate, according to measurements from an Argentinian research station thermometer.

The reading was taken at the Esperanza Base along Antarctica’s Trinity Peninsula on Thursday. It beats the continent’s previous record of 63.5 degrees tallied in March 2015, and comes shortly after the Earth saw its hottest January on record and hottest decade on record in the 2010s.

No global cooling, that is for sure.

I saw that on TV earlier. Scary to say the least.

Crazy.

Like I said in another thread. At this rate, 5-10 feet of sea level rise in definitely in the cards. Twenty years ago, no one predicted AA would be approaching 70 degrees. But, yet, here we are.

How fast is the ice going to melt if we get a string of Antarctic summers like this? Real freaking fast.

We best spend our money and energy getting ready to deal with change, to include all of the people who decide that they want to relocate. That makes a lot more sense than starving the citizens of power and stuff as the so-called experts.....this class of people who constantly lie and fail at their jobs.....gain power claiming to be trying to reorganize the planet atmosphere....and then after they fail try to figure out what to do about change.

Countries which will surpass the US soon are all investing heavily in alternative energy. Meanwhile, we elected a barbarian who wants to bring back big coal. :doh

Trumpity-Trump-Trump-Trump!

You will be on a starvation diet in UTOPIA, or nearly so.....one group has a plan that gets you exactly one egg a month...to SAVE THE PLANET.

What in the world!? Signy Research station recorded 67 degrees F in the 1980s.... so I would guess there were plenty of people twenty years ago that knew AA could get into the high 60s this time of year...

You have so many positive examples from around that show that the transition away from fossil fuels is possible.

100% renewable electricity worldwide is a new cost-effective reality

Denmark Set a New Record for Wind Energy in 2019

Why Republican Leaders Love Renewable Energy

That it just that the transition could and should have come decades ago, but you have had powerful economical and political interests that have delayed the transision.

The thing with the idea of street epistemology, getting to discuss why people believe what they do, finding the path by which they came to get there, is that you need to get that person to say what it is they believe in the first place.

All the time with religous people I can at least get to that point very easily. With the doom moners of Global Warming it is vertually impossible to even get to that.

I ask again, how much sea level rise, in some sort of measurement, do you think is at all possible by 2100 due to human caused warming of the world?

So you are hoping that the dangers of a global holocaust are real? To be 'beyond the point of intervention' means that we may be unable to abort or delay the inevitable catastrophic consequences of global warming.

My point is they're not inevitable. Not even probable. Once the "point of intervention" passes and nothing happens, then you'll leave us alone.

Take a guess as to how high the oceans have to rise to make Miami, Houston or New York uninhabitable to humans? Wait, I'll save you all that trouble of having to look it up. It's one foot. Just one foot of water and Miami would turn into an abandoned city. Same with Houston and New York.

I'll bet that thermometer was implemented, replacing a previous type, not long before 2015.

Warmest temperature records dominates lowest temperature records.

A stark tally of the heat records that fell in 2019

Also the evidence is so overwhelming that fossil fuel companies that have operation all across the world that is dependent on correct weather data and also a have a great motivation to disprove manmade global warming, have to acknowledge the urgent need for action on manmade global warming.
