In a year of extreme heat, Antarctica's last six months were the coldest on record.
"For the polar darkness period, from April through September, the average temperature was -60.9 degrees Celsius, a record for those months," the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said.
The last six months is also the darkest period at the South Pole, which is where the name polar darkness (also called polar night) comes from. Here, the sun sets for the last time around the spring equinox, and does not rise again until near the autumn equinox six months later.
For the entire Antarctic continent, the winter of 2021 was the second-coldest on record, with the "temperature for June, July, and August 3.4 degrees Celsius lower than the 1981 to 2010 average at -62.9 degrees Celsius," according to a new report from the NSIDC.
This is the second-coldest winter (June-July-August months) on record, behind only 2004 in the 60-year weather record at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station," the NSIDC said.

"WEATHER VERSUS CLIMATE
It is important to understand weather is different from climate. Weather is what happens over shorter periods of time (days to months), such as the seven-day forecast. Climate is what happens over much longer periods of time, such as several years, or even entire generations.
"One such example is a cold snap, which can happen due to sudden changes in atmospheric circulation and may not be linked to climate change," says Tom Slater, Research Fellow at the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling at the University of Leeds. "Texas is a good example of this; even though parts of it experienced extreme cold weather earlier this year when air from the Arctic was pushed south, looking at the long-term change in temperature tells us that Texas is 1.5 degrees warmer on average now than it was 100 years ago. That's climate."
Gosh . . . climate change sure is complicated!
Global Warming is a fraud.
That is what happens when the earth’s core for whatever reason stops emitting heat via underwater volcanoes and “smokers”. Not until the science of the earth’s core is understood, will climate science be understood.
It’s so cold because it’s too hot…
Just more proof global warming is real. The warming causes extremely cold weather, and also extremely warm weather. The only solution is kill off 95% of the population and stop all energy production. It would also be more effective if the population that is killed off are Americans and first world serfs. Only the elite should be allowed to live.
60 years of antarctic records isn’t much to hang your hat on.

another Ponzi scheme
Shhhhh. Don’t let on that it was WINTER down there. Now it’s not so guessing record heat wave expected soon. Our house? Possibly snow overnight and a hard freeze warning for the next couple days.
More Communism will solve it.
Hmmmmm. Reduce the population by 95%? Maybe some evil (Dr Evil?) could develop some strain of virus that would panic people into getting unproven medication that could cause possible heart conditio.................. Hey, wait a minute.
Big Brother has raised our chocolate ration. Long live Big Brother!
It’s global warming on a hot day, climate change on a cold one.
I can tell the past few years have been colder than normal, at least here in New York. I’m 59, I remember clear as hell when I was a kid it would routinely hit the 90s in the summer. Now it rarely hits the 90s. Yet the domestic enemies keep pushing the climate hoax. I also live near the water on Long Island, “Long island sound”. We have a dock here that’s from the 1950s. Why isn’t it under water yet? Because climate change is BS
That very well could be happening right now with the vaccines. Curious how more people have died in 2021 from Covid than have died in 2020 even though we didn’t have any vaccine until the end of 2020
Curious how more people have died in 2021 from Covid than have died in 2020 even though we didn’t have any vaccine until the end of 2020
That’s because they figured out how profitable it was and how much control they could have if more people “die of COVID”.
No water anywhere near the South Pole.
So...if the commie doomsayers are exactly right and the world warms up 3o C then all the ice will melt?! Sure...Now it's clear to me!
The way they fudge around that is that they talk about it getting "warmer" in NY. There are warmer winters, and there may be warmer low temperatures in all seasons (probably flat). So they say it is getting "warmer" or lie and say. it is getting "hotter". But it is not getting hotter.
