Antarctic Heat Wave: Antarctica and Arctic Both Experience Historic High Temperatures

- ANTARCTICA - Antarctic heat wave explained.
Earth's poles have been experiencing major heat waves simultaneously, with the Arctic 6 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the 1979 to 2000 average on Friday, March 18, and the Antarctic, heading toward its Autumn period, about 8.6 degrees warmer, according to the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer.
Individual weather stations in the latter region emphasize the scale of the heat, with the Vostok station recording temperatures around 27 degrees above its all-time record, while the remote research station at Dome C reached around 68 degrees warmer than its average for this time of year since 1990, according to Berkeley Earth lead scientist Robert Rohde.
In both regions, warm air being transported by strong winds is responsible for the temperature spikes, according to Severe Weather Europe, though an atmospheric river was also a major contributing factor in the eastern Antarctic, according to one climate researcher cited by The Guardian.
“These are rivers of moisture in the air that bring warm and moist air to certain locations, and there was a really significant one occurring in that region over Antarctica,” Julie Arblaster of Monash University explained. The moist air trapped heat above the continent, and that resulted in the warm surface temperatures.
Such heat would have to persist for a fairly long time to have a significant impact on the Antarctic ice sheet, according to Andrew Mackintosh, head of the school of earth, atmosphere and environment at Monash University, though the ultimate danger is that ice shelves that extend out over the ocean could melt and, as a result, “grounded ice that sits inland would flow out faster … go to the ocean and cause sea level rise.”
In the Arctic, however, there has already been a sharp drop in levels of sea ice this month, adding to a study last year that found sea ice across much of the Arctic thinning twice as quickly as previously thought, according to The Guardian.

This is a great animation
so they had a warm year, you should know the earth is going off its axis and now its snowing in parts of the philippines every year, true north has been moving as the earth rotates and is no wobbling way off axis, this puts the Antarctica more south closer to the equator so yes, everything is being affected, then it wobbles again every year going a little more off
What a load of garbage. Clearly you have no BS filter.
Wait, there’s snow in my home country?

A heat wave that was too cold to melt anything
Could you please put temperatures on screen when you mention them, BOTH degrees F (for the US) and degrees C (for the rest of the world).

NOPE F ONLY
@@byronchavarria4954 why would you use a broken, not fit for purpose, out of date system for measuring temperature?
WILL INCREASE.

We should refit some oil tankers to become water tankers and provide clean drinking water to people of the world
The most recent weather I have heard is extreme frozen ice in shipping lanes previously thought to open to ship lanes in the north seas. What is the truth here or are news controlled by you know who?

OMG , the sky is falling , again...... and again. We're All Doomed.
You’re definitely America’s best scientist. 🤪😂
@@salsa564 I guess you and me both. How many of us are Able OR Allowed to go to begin with ? Certainly not us , hence my original post. Maybe you know ?
The sky is warming. It's warming hundreds of times faster in fact than during the end Permian extinction which killed 97% of life and life took 20 million years to recover.
Game over humans. It was intentional.
I once met a right-winger who understood climate science. Once.

Ah, more fear mongering
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Global warming is a threat to humanity that we must fight even if it helps Putins profit margins as global warming is more dangerous than nuclear war!

Extreme weather events are worthy of fear as they can have potentially catastrophic results. Its important humanity is prepared and aware in order to prevent loss of life
FEAR based on facts = Reality
