Are you keeping watch on Antarctica? Preliminary Report: Record Temperatures at South Pole (and nearby AWS sites…) [link to amrc.ssec.wisc.edu] South Pole’s Record Breaking Week…(Corrected!) Posted on December 31, 2011 by mattl Here’s more on South Pole Stations record breaking week of weather (Courtesy of South Pole Meteorology Office): December 24th: The peak wind speed of 29 kts/33 mph broke the previous record of 28 kts/32 mph set in 1996. December 24th: The temperature of -13.3°C/8.1°F broke the previous maximum temperature record of -15.7°C/3.7°F set in 1984. December 25th: The temperature of -12.3°C/9.9°F broke the previous maximum temperature record of -17.2°C/1.0°F set in 1978. December 25th: The temperature of -12.3°C/9.9°F broke the record for the all-time maximum temperature at South Pole. The previous record of -13.6°C/7.5°F was set on December 27, 1978. December 30th: The peak wind speed of 25 kts/29 mph broke the previous record of 21 kts/24 mph set in 1989. [link to amrc.ssec.wisc.edu] Its warming up and getting windier.

Are they really that abnormal or are we getting our underwear in a knot over nothing? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3891773 I think weather patterns have definitely changed. I am NOT a proponent of the global warming (Go Green) fad. But, there definitely seem to be changes going on. I think abnormal weather is not that big of deal, until it happens globally, and annually, which is what we have seen the last few years. BUT, I am not an alarmist either, so, as you can tell, I am on the fence concerning all this. Especially when ALL the global weather data has been fucked with.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1374158 United States 01/12/2012 05:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Also a big theory behind earthquakes is that the polar cap melt is causing "glacier melt rebound effect. Water is heavier than ice and the ocean floor is adjusting to the ice weight from the ice meltage (if there's such a word?) Thus causing some of last years earthquakes in the Pacific region. Especially Aleutian Island chain and maybe NZ/Kermedac locations |

One volcano or even a chain of them would only melt a fraction of the ice. I think theres more to worry about the methane leaking from under the arctic. But they rather blame mans coal plants, lol. |
