Meteorologist Debunks Claim Antarctica Is ‘Burning’ Up From A Heat Wave
by Anthony Watts  Sep 20, 2024 in Bipolar, Extreme Weather, Media, News and Opinion Reading Time: 4 mins read
 

A variety of mainstream media outlets claim Antarctica is burning up, registering unusually hot temperatures due to climate change, citing a recent study as the source for their stories. The stories misrepresent the study’s findings and the science. [emphasis, links added]

The peer-reviewed paper that the headlines reference clearly states that a short-term weather event was the cause, not climate change.


Also, contrary to media claims, there was no “heat wave,” since the official meteorological criteria for calling this event a heat wave was not met.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview
