German weather site wetteronline.de reported “extreme winter cold” in Antarctica as the mercury plummeted to “almost minus 80 degrees Celsius” on April 29, 2024.

And it’s not even winter yet.

“On April 29, almost minus 80 degrees were measured at the Russian Vostok research station. Such extreme cold is rarely reached this early in the year,” reported wetteronline.de.
The record, -89.3°C, was recorded in the middle of winter, on July 21, 1983, thus making the last week’s late April reading very unusual.
“Values below minus 80 degrees in April are also extremely rare at the Earth’s cold pole and have only been recorded three times in the last 60 years,” wetteronline.de adds.

Sinking islands: Annalena Baerbock’s propaganda South Seas climate show
As always, our Green Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock is cruising around the South Seas and making herself an advocate of the “Blue Continent” https://t.ly/KvRrM. On the Fiji Islands, she speaks of the “brutality of the climate crisis” https://t.ly/ZqqTn and refers to the sinking islands that are falling victim to rising seas. The press accompanies her climate trip with corresponding articles.
What is the problem? Quite simply: islands in the sea rise and sink. This is due to tectonics, earthquakes, plate shifts and volcanoes. In Japan and Indonesia, new islands are constantly being created on an assembly line.
Many islands in the ocean are just the tips of huge underwater mountains. And their flanks are constantly slipping away, like landslides in high mountains.
And lo and behold: as early as 2012, SPIEGEL https://t.ly/b_aGb reported on research from the South Seas, which came to the conclusion that 3/4 of all sinking islands are not sinking because of climate-related sea levels, but because of the Australian Plate, which is sliding under the Pacific Plate and pulling parts of it down with it.
Earthquakes in particular cause islands to rise and sink. For example, a quake a few years ago caused Samoa to sink https://t.ly/xCcWb. NASA is also investigating the sinking of islands due to tectonic events by observing them from space https://t.ly/nnvHz.
Coral islands grow upwards with the rising sea level due to the growth of the reefs. Their structure is constantly changing due to floods, storms, hurricanes/typhoons https://t.ly/YKXCC.
Sea coasts are constantly changing. The German North Sea coast has been constantly changing for centuries. The Netherlands has adapted to this development over the last few centuries by building dykes.
Studies have repeatedly shown that islands are sinking due to tectonic shifts and the erosion of soil by ocean currents or submarine landslides https://t.ly/hO9I8.
As early as 2017, the British Guardian pointed out that many press reports exaggerate the effect of rising sea levels on the sinking of islands in order to promote the climate change narrative https://t.ly/hHM5M.
Does Baerbock care about such differentiations? In any case, she has once again succeeded in making a name for herself in the media and promoting her climate policy. Once again, the truth has taken a back seat.
(ps: plz correct my “h-slip of the key” in “regards”, thx)
Dear Pierre, subsequent correction request could be deleted, if you like, as you have fulfilled it. I should probably have “authorized” it right away. But many thanks for your tactful courtesy. Do not publish this comment. Best regards

Vostok has a permanent temperature inversion
That means more greenhouse gases cause COOLING there, and also for most of the continent, excluding two ice shelves and the small peninsula, mainly affected by ocean currents and underseas volcanoes.
Cooler in Vostok is evidence of an increasing greenhouse effect. I doubt if the author knew that.
Richard Green is sure more cold is increased greenhouse effect?
This weird, more warm should be.
