Antarctica has logged its hottest temperature on record, with an Argentinian research station thermometer reading 18.3C, beating the previous record by 0.8C.

The reading, taken at Esperanza on the northern tip of the continent’s peninsula, beats Antarctica’s previous record of 17.5C, set in March 2015.

The thermometer was placed over a camp fire cooking whale blubber.

Wow...ton of historical data there to compare against. Well...maybe not. And most of Antarctica is currently colder than "historical" norms.

Here is a graph with the current temperature deltas for Antarctica (labeled for you...).

I long for the days that Chicago was under a mile of ice. Good times. I notice that satan isn't calling for any real world solutions like nukes or shipping US LNG to Europe and Asia. Maybe he should start a vigorous media campaign aimed at the chicoms. Nope, although the chicoms are producing twice the CO2 as the US, we are the ones who need to freeze in the dark.
