Un-educated Climate Alarmists are Dumbfounded to Learn Antarctica’s Record-breaking “Heatwave” Increased Antarctica’s Ice Sheet!

Jim Steele,
Click-bait media, such as the Washington Post, fear mongered the headlines, “Scientists found the most intense heat wave ever”. Due to incessant media propaganda, alarmists falsely believed only rising CO2 concentrations can cause such extreme warming events, and that heat waves are deadly. Indeed, Antarctica’s March 2022 heat wave extraordinarily raised local temperatures at Dome C above its average on March 2022 by 40°C (72°F). Nonetheless, the heatwave only raised temperatures to (minus) -11.8°C maintaining deadly cold temperatures.
Media’s climate narratives commonly suggest in our era of anthropogenic climate change such an unusual temperature heat wave puts us in uncharted territory and many admitted being baffled. However, a large group of objective climate scientists just published Wille et al (2024) The Extraordinary March 2022 East Antarctica: “Heat” Wave” Parts I & II, revealing all the natural weather dynamics that produced that “heat wave”.
As shown, (illustration A), at Antarctica’s Dome C (Concordia), today’s CO2 concentrations had maintained March temperatures to normally hover around -55°C. But on March 18, 2022, temperatures spiked upwards by 40°C (72°F) in a highly unusual warm event.
