Scientists Observe Coldest Temperatures Ever on Earth’s Surface

Researchers released a report this week revealing “ultralow surface temperatures” in East Antarctica that surpass the coldest temperatures ever recorded on the earth’s surface.

The lowest measured air temperature on earth is −89.2 °C (−129 F) on 23 July 1983, observed at Vostok Station in Antarctica, but new data published in Geophysical Research Letters this week, has found that some 100 different locations on the East Antarctic Plateau reached temperatures of -98° C (-144° F) during the Antarctic polar night between 2004–2016.

A team from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado Boulder have identified the East Antarctic Plateau — a massive, empty expanse the size of Australia that begins near the South Pole — as the coldest place on the planet.

I was sure, before reading the details, that this was about Chappaqua NY.

A little puzzled why 100 locations were exactly -144F and not a single one -145.

When it gets cold like this, it’s just “weather” — it has nothing to do with climate change.

Soon to be followed by going to the hottest place on Earth next; you know, just to balance things out.

The reason is simple—Al Gore doesn’t fly over it.

Global warming, global cooling, makes no difference. The problem in either case is the human race, and especially prosperity. The solution in either case is socialism, a massive reduction in standards of living, and in time a 90 percent reduction in human populations. This, of course, will require dictatorship in addition to socialism, but that must be kept quiet for now. The main thing is to consolidate the power of the leftist juntas in the West.

I've started double bagging groceries and using two straws.

Next I'll leave my car idling whenever I can.

Weather, no more significant than the data showing hot spots on the globe. The good news is that the science cabal will unlikely to change this data since it doesn’t help their narrative. The East Antarctic Plateau is one of the most poorly sampled spots on Earth, so this has probably been going on for a very long time.
