Antarctica has posted its coldest winter since records began in 1957 with average temperatures of -61.1°C.
The previous record was -60.6°C in 1976.
According to a shocked Washington Post:
The chill was exceptional, even for the coldest location on the planet.
The average temperature at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station between April and September, a frigid minus -78 degrees (minus -61 Celsius), was the coldest on record, dating back to 1957. This was 4.5 degrees lower than the most recent 30-year average.
The reason WaPo is shocked, obviously, is because according to the alarmist narrative the polar ice caps are supposed to be getting warmer, not colder.
This may be why the authors of the report tried to disguise the bad news by beginning it thus:
Amid a record hot summer in large parts of the Northern Hemisphere, beset by devastating fires, floods and hurricanes, Antarctica was mired in a deep, deep freeze. That’s typically the case during the southernmost continent’s winter months, but 2021 was different.
In other words, WaPo will only permit its readers to learn that the Antarctic has recorded its coldest winter on record once they have first been reassured that the world is getting hotter (and more generally weather-disastrous).
Later the article goes on to tell readers that ‘The planet and Antarctica are still warming.’
But this claim is contradicted by at least three scientific studies suggesting that the Antarctic is on a cooling trend.

Antarctica is getting Colder but don’t wait for that to be on the front pages of the New York Slime’s or Washington Compost
Its not global warming anymore. It is climate change. Because it is not warming. But why is the war on petroleum (allegedly CO2) still raging full blown. That is a greenhouse gas that allegedly causes warming. If it is not warming, halt all the anti-CO2 agenda.
This past winter for us on the southern tablelands NSW Australia was cold. Keeping our fully insulated home warm required a good fire burning all day to bedtime and for about a three weeks mid winter, we kept the fire going all night so that the next morning indoor temp didn’t fall below 15 degrees C.
The warmest or coldest that on record. Too bad the records usually only go back to the 1800’s. All this nonsense about breaking this record or that record would be folly if we had records going back several 100’s of millions of years. Though I believe we are headed toward cooler temps overall. And global warming is the biggest farce since the fake covid pandemic.
