Any argument picking out local highs or lows is *smile*. It’s a global climate not a local climate. Maybe that is the point you are both making. ?
good article. more extremes in temperature, and weather conditions. the climate is changing.Scott Base crew enduring near-record breaking Antarctica winter - 10C colder than usual
Spare a thought for the hardy crew who are wintering down in Antarctica, experiencing near-record breaking cold temperatures.
They've come very near to the coldest ever recorded temperature of -89.6C.
While it may have been -16C when Newshub spoke with the Scott Base crew - that's almost balmy conditions compared to the -81.7C recorded on the icy continent this week.
Antarctica New Zealand science tech Jamie McGaw says he "can't even imagine that extreme cold".
"I mean, the coldest I've experienced here is like, even in wind chill, is the -60Cs and that is pain, that is any bare skin exposed is like it's on fire. So somewhere where it's -80C? I would not like to be there."
He's luckily 2400km away at Scott Base, but still enduring an unseasonably cold winter.
The continent's average temperature has been 10C colder than usual - all down to a polar vortex.

Could've posted about Greenland's record daily snowfall during melt season on June 24, but chose that one instead given it covers "winter" rather than a single day. If Melbourne's winter was 10 degrees colder than normal, people would be dropping faster than you could bury them.To some extent you are right, however, the point of the Yale article is that they are predicting record high temperatures so early in summer. The Antarctic temperatures cited above are 8 degrees away from a cold record.

I'm sure there are other recent cold records out there.
So what you're saying is, "climate change" is still "global warming".We all know the cold records are way below warm records, but knock yourself out and try and find some.
Thread was dormant for two weeks before a random drive-by making a point about... something.oh Lord. This trolling is becoming pathetic.
Dude, go back to the Corona thread. You'll get more bites there.Thread was dormant for two weeks before a random drive-by making a point about... something.
Only responded in kind to a slice of propaganda.Dude, go back to the Corona thread. You'll get more bites there.

You're only posting to contradict everything I post. Reckon things will be better if you go back on ignore.
What a completely bonkers argument. They're investing in coal because while they're growing stronger, we're (the west) growing weaker. They're taking the 2030 leeway and making every post a winner.China might also reply that, yes, they are building coal fired power stations, but this is viable because countries including Australia are willing to sell them coal on the cheap.

If they were fair dinkum on CO2 they'd simply cancel the market, like they've done with various other Australian exports.
What ammunition? You've just taken an opportunity to make excuses for China.Not bonkers at all, why give someone you want to criticise ammunition to completely blow your argument out of the water?
If we were fair dinkum on CO2 we would phase out coal fired power and fossil fuel exports.
