South Pole Temps Refuse to Cooperate With Global-warming Hysteria
Since daily record-keeping began at the South Pole in 1957, three recent November days broke record minimum temperatures in the land of snow and ice. November 16 dropped to -46.0° C with the previous low temperature for that date -45.7° C in 1987; November 17 tied its record cold mark for that date with -45.1° C, the same as in 1999; and November 18 reached -45.2° C, breaking the previous record of -44.7° C in 1985.
The record cold temps come on the heels of a record cold winter in 2021, during which a research station on a high plateau in Antarctica recorded an average temperature of -78° F (-61° C) over a six-month period between April and September of 2021.
And the South Pole is not the only example of cooler-than-normal temperatures across the world. Arctic Sea ice, long considered something that needs to be watched closely lest we see an ice-free North Pole in summer months, has quietly been growing since its low point in 2012. At the end of September 2021, Arctic Sea ice covered 4.92 million square kilometers, according to an October 5, 2021 post at Arctic Sea Ice News and Analysis. That figure is 1.35 million square kilometers higher than the 2012 low.
