According to a recent presentation by climate scientist Dr. Ole Humlum published in Science of Climate Change: Real-world observations show both cooling and warming trends in the Arctic, Antarctic, and Tropical oceans since ARGO monitoring was introduced in 2004. Real-world observations show no trend in global precipitation since 1979. Real-world observations show global cloud cover […]

The drivers of warming and glacier retreat in Antarctic climates are not aligned with a linearly-rising trend of atmospheric CO2. Scientists (Park et al., 2026) have assessed that over the last four decades the patterns of air temperature, sea surface temperature, and glacier retreat near King George Island (just north of the northernmost tip of […]

There is nothing unprecedented or even significant about modern warming magnitudes or rates. Antarctic ice cores are routinely used to represent not only global-scale CO2 records, but global temperature records over the last 800,000 years. Interestingly, if we compare modern Antarctica to paleo Antarctica we learn “no continent-scale warming of Antarctic temperature is evident in the […]

Record cold at the South Pole … Amundsen-Scott Station records -61.3°C … coldest October temperature in Southern Hemisphere since 1981. The German, realist European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) presents its latest video on the subject of Antarctica and contrasts the new records with mainstream media coverage of climate change. On October 15, 2025, […]

The Southern Ocean (60-70°S) and Antarctica (south of 60°S) were warmer in the late 1970s and early 1980s than in recent decades (Vihma and Uotila, 2016, Ma et al., 2025). These regional temperature anomalies do not align with linearly-rising CO2 emissions. Image Source: Vihma and Uotila, 2026 Image Source: Ma et al., 2025

A new study indicates the Antarctic Peninsula has cooled -2.2°C (-1.2°C/decade) from 2003-2021. Of the 12 regions of Antarctica analyzed for temperature trends from 2003-2021, 6 cooled and 6 warmed. These trends undermine alarmist claims of CO2-induced “polar amplification.” Image Source: Nielsen et al., 2025

This is not supposed to be happening, according to the climate models. Symbol image: NASA While the headlines relentlessly holler about “exploding global warming” and “dramatic melting” of the polar caps, the South Pole is telling a starkly different story. Here reports Germany’s Report 24. On October 15, the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station registered an […]

Scientists have counter-intuitively determined that a melting Antarctic ice sheet serves to mitigate global warming. The anticipated accelerated melting of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) will mean massive amounts of freshwater will enter the Southern Ocean (SO) over the next one hundred years. According to a new study‘s panoply of SOFIA (Southern Ocean Freshwater Input […]

The Germany-base European Institute For Climate And Energy (EIKE) has issued its latest video featuring Antarctica. Good news! The alleged catastrophic warming remains a myth there. It’s as cold as it ever was. Lots of other publications showing Antarctic cooling. See my side bar for all posts about Antarctica. Antarctica experienced record low temperatures in […]

By Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt If you look at the climate website of the Helmholtz Association with the ambitious name “Climate Facts” under Antarctica, you will read the following: “The important mainland ice of Antarctica is disappearing, and at an increasing rate”. According to the Helmholtz Association, this is of great significance for rising sea levels. […]

DNA evidence suggests the limit of Antarctic sea ice was ~2000 kilometers farther south than it is today 2500 to 1000 years ago. Elephant seals can only breed in the Southern Ocean’s subantarctic, sea ice free waters. For example, today’s largest colony breeds on Macquarie Island (54.5°S). Scientists (Wood et al., 2025) have now identified […]

According to a new study, the recent short-term (2011-2022) decreasing Antarctic sea ice concentration (SIC) trend has not offset the overall 43-year (1979-2022) trend of increasing Antarctic SIC. The strongly negative sea surface temperatures and SIC correlation coefficient (-0.73) indicates the waters around Antarctica have undergone a long-term cooling trend. Image Source: Sahoo et al., […]
