Considering how inactive the sun has been over the last few years, I'm betting on a cooling trend.
The average temperature at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station between April and September, a frigid minus-78 degrees (minus-61 Celsius), was the coldest on record, dating back to 1957. This was 4.5 degrees lower than the most recent 30-year average.
We'll know in about 35 years.
ReplyDeletewell... Antarctica has been in its present position since around the end of the Cretaceous, or about 70 million years, and it's been ice-covered since around the Eocene, or about 30 million years. We humans have been measuring temperatures there for less than 200 years or so. Maybe our perspective is a little self-involved, just sayin': There's a slight possibility it's been colder there, before - since 200 years is about 7 ten-thousandths of one percent of the time it's been ice-covered. It's a sure thing that it's been much much warmer, too.
ReplyDeleteSomeone would have to care about history to notice what has happened in the past, the people who get what they need to know from the MSM don't really seem to care.
DeleteHow will the warmist cult deal with this science? The mind boggles.
ReplyDeleteThe Greta Thunberg acolytes will ignore or refute the science and continue to accuse us critical thinking, logical folks as being "Climate Change Deniers".
DeleteThey may deny the science, or they may simply ignore the science, but they will not refute the science.
DeleteI'm guessing anomaly - I understand Al Gore was planning to host a climate change seminar down there...
ReplyDeleteReading largely the Sun's doing, and it's going to get worse.
ReplyDeleteBetter get out those parkas
