Heatwaves at both of Earth’s poles alarm scientists!
Startling heatwaves at both of Earth’s poles are causing alarm among climate scientists, who have warned the “unprecedented” events could signal faster and abrupt climate breakdown.

Temperatures in Antarctica reached record levels at the weekend, an astonishing 40C above normal in places.
This weather anomaly compared to ‘normal’ temperatures:
?Heat wave in Antarctica, +38 °C (+68 °F) above normal.
That’s not an error, or a typo.

At the same time, weather stations near the north pole also showed signs of melting, with some temperatures 30C above normal, hitting levels normally attained far later in the year.
At this time of year, the Antarctic should be rapidly cooling after its summer, and the Arctic only slowly emerging from its winter, as days lengthen. For both poles to show such heating at once is unprecedented.
The danger is twofold: heatwaves at the poles are a strong signal of the damage humanity is wreaking on the climate; and the melting could also trigger further cascading changes that will accelerate climate breakdown.
As polar sea ice melts, particularly in the Arctic, it reveals dark sea that absorbs more heat than reflective ice, warming the planet further. Much of the Antarctic ice covers land, and its melting raises sea levels.

Scientists warned that the events unfolding were “historic”, “unprecedented” and “dramatic”.
Michael Mann, director of the Earth System Science Centre at Pennsylvania State University, said the extreme weather being recorded was exceeding predictions to a worrying extent.
“The warming of the Arctic and Antarctic is cause for concern, and the increase in extreme weather events – of which these are an example – is a cause for concern as well,” he said. “The models have done a good job projecting the overall warming, but we’ve argued that extreme events are exceeding model projections. These events drive home the urgency of action.”
The latest unprecedented weather patterns follow a series of alarming heatwaves in 2021, most notably in the US Pacific north-west, where previous records were shattered by several degrees as temperatures climbed close to 50C.
Mark Maslin, professor of earth system science at University College London, said: “I and colleagues were shocked by the number and severity of the extreme weather events in 2021. Now we have record temperatures in the Arctic which, for me, show we have entered a new extreme phase of climate change much earlier than we had expected.”

The Associated Press reported that one weather station in Antarctica beat its all-time record by 15C, while another coastal station used to deep freezes at this time of year was 7C above freezing. In the Arctic, meanwhile, some parts were 30C warmer than average.
James Hansen, former NASA chief scientist and one of the first to warn governments of global heating more than three decades ago. The heating of the poles was “concerning” and that sea ice in the Arctic this year could shrink far enough to break a decade-old record on its lowest extent.
“The average sea ice thickness has been declining, so it’s ripe for large sea ice loss,” he warned. “The effect of reduced sea ice cover is to amplify Earth’s energy imbalance that’s caused by increasing greenhouse gases (GHGs) – the GHGs reduce outgoing heat radiation, thus causing a net imbalance that’s heating the planet.
“Reduced sea ice cover increases the planetary energy imbalance, as a dark ocean reflects less sunlight than sea ice does.”
Temperatures are too high at both poles right now. But it’s not our fault. Climate changes in cycles… [Guardian]

Yes let’s ignore the ninty plus volcanos located in antarticia.Lets ignore the la Nina cycle.Its all man made.If you believe these nuts that it’s all man made then it stands to reason we are the center of the earth and its sole reason for existence.Yes I am being facious.There bullsh## is never ending annoying and quite tiring
I can not believe you fell for this crap. 25 below ZERO is still cold. Look at Earth as a whole – 1 are is warmer, 1 area is colder. The problem is that there are no temp gauges in many areas of Earth so they guess. Tell me the stations in South Sudan, DRC, etc etc etc. Look at the satellite data. It shows Earth losing -0.6C in the last year.

I also like ElectroVerse ;-)… I was in Antarctica on a scientific expedition. We got stuck in ice… Exactly where the scientists claim now that the ice is retreating at an unprecedented rate (Pine Island Bay). Lots of volcanism over there and nobody speks about it. For me what’s important in this article are these weird temperature peaks… Not the climate change propaganda… Everything on Earth is a cycle… That’s all everyone should keep in their heads!
Perhaps the morons should stop spraying aerosols and monkeying with the existing clinate first.
