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., […]

Recent studies shows that the Arctic and Antarctic have cooled over the past 2 decades, and that ice mass has gained in the Antarctic Wilkes Land-Queen Mary Land region. Hat-tip: TKP The study, “Spatiotemporal mass change rate analysis from 2002 to 2023 over the Antarctic Ice Sheet and four glacier basins in Wilkes-Queen Mary Land” […]

The Surface Mass Balance (SMB) for the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) has been remarkably stable since the 1970s. However, according to the authors of a new study (a preprint soon to be published), “in recent years, the SMB has increased on the AIS, in particular for 2022, which mostly originates from mass gain on the […]

Leafy moss dated to the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) has been found embedded in Antarctic glacier ice that today is “permanently snow-covered” with “no evidence of meltwater.” This affirms a warmer MWP and that “the summer melt during the MWP was greater than today.” According to a new study, moss samples with intact leaves and […]

The alarmist narrative that says disappearing sea ice serves to enhance and worsen global warming may now be discarded. For decades it has been assumed the sea ice concentration (SIC) reduction trend in the the Arctic over the first 30 years of the satellite era (1979-2007, with a flat trend since then) would lead to […]

Natural cycles drive our climate The latest video by the Germany-based European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) looks at CO2 and the troublesome Medieval Warm Period, which has long been a thorn for climate alarmists. Antarctica was warmer during the Medieval Warm Period, enhancing penguin population. Image generated by Grok Hat-tip: Klimanachrichten The Medieval […]
