Antarctica continues to defy the global warming script, with a report from Meteo France, that June this year was the coldest Antarctic June ever recorded, at the French Antarctic Dumont d’Urville Station.
According to the press release, during June this year, the average temperature was -22.4c (-8.3F), 6.6c (11.9F) lower than normal. This is the coldest June ever recorded at the station, and almost the coldest monthly average ever – only September 1953 was colder, with a recorded average temperature of -23.5c (-10.3F).
June this year also broke the June daily minimum temperature record, with a new record low of -34.9c (-30.8F).
Other unusual features of the June temperature record are an unusual excess of sunlight hours (11.8 hours rather than the normal 7.4 hours), and unusually light wind conditions.
Dumont d’Urville Station has experienced ongoing activity since 1956. According to the Meteo France record, there is no other weather station for 1000km in any direction.

The geologic records is clear, we have had mini ice ages approx. every 25 thousand years and we are due for the next one soon. Environmentalism is the new face of the progressive movement/communism, and it is clear Marx & Stalin had it right, there will always be “Useful Idi0ts”.
Algore has been pushing this steaming pile of excrement deciding carbon was now the evil element. It’s obvious he was a “D” student in his environmental science class, and I have to wonder if he ever heard of the carbon cycle? We have had how many scandals now where scientists have fudged data so their computer models would have a favorable outcome? But they keep chanting the same lie, and the gullible lemmings continue toward the edge of the cliff. There are so may ways to punch holes in the global warming/climate change bravo sierra, it becomes pointless to debate because the A-clowns just refuse to hear. Another thing which is annoying is the claim that scientists are all in consensus over this load of excrement? The truth is many scientists have become leftist operatives & propaganda tools. If there was ever a consensus in science, then the science would be suspect. Someone once said “if everyone is thinking the same, then someone is not thinking,” anyone know who said that?
Your predictions were wrong.
Your model has failed.
Your theory is falsified.
Drop it and move on.
That’s how REAL science works.
It’s called weather. Gore calls it opportunity as does Obama. They are heavily invested in one bank and carbon credits. Liberals own the mathematics purchased for about $10,000 from a widower. Her husband come up with the formula. Gore pushes it and Obama will shove it down the throat of business. Global fear from over 100 years ago with false facts and a complete bypass of the truth. Even by liberal media.
Global warming models predicted the severe cooling at Antarctica, and whatever else might happen in the future.
And Al Gore is still not admitting his predictions have been wrong. As far as I know, he hasn’t sold his oceanfront home on the west coast fearing it will be taken out by the rising tides of global warming. The people are finally catching on to the global warming hoax.
Two points that many people may not realize are that winters starts on June 21 in the southern hemisphere, just as summer starts here the same day. The other point is the arctic and antarctic circles are the circles on a globe that have at least one day when the sun does not rise above the horizon in their first winter day, at sea level.
Just as having one hot summer doesn’t prove global warming, having one cold winter doesn’t prove global cooling. Insisting on global warming no matter what the evidence shows does demonstrate something about it’s proponents though. The term bigoted used to mean someone who wouldn’t see the truth even when it was put in front of them, but now it s used for other purposes.
CAGW will freeze to death in Antarctica.
Ever hear of a “nuclear winter?”
The same radiation released from Japan’s nuclear meltdowns (Fukushima) is the same released from weapons.
This radiation has blanketed most of the world and affects weather, climate and human and animal DNA and the ozone hole.

If it’s “warmcolddroughtflood”, then it’s “Global Warming Climate Change Disruption”.
Any questions?
It’s like Mother Nature is screaming at Al Gore telling him he is wrong, but he won’t listen.
There is no man-caused global warming.
Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. and Barack Hussein Obama are knuckle-dragging science denier Neanderthals.
The global warming has become so hot that now it is cold… understand?
Classic Drudge cherry picked story… Typical low IQ drudge reader sees the headline only, and declares global warming a fraud, and that’s that…and the wording is deceptive too, to fool anyone without technical knowledge about more light, as if it were variable…pathetic deliberate misinformation…
Earth on the Brink of an Ice Age
11.01.2009
The earth is now on the brink of entering another Ice Age, according to a large and compelling body of evidence from within the field of climate science. Many sources of data which provide our knowledge base of long-term climate change indicate that the warm, twelve thousand year-long Holocene period will rather soon be coming to an end, and then the earth will return to Ice Age conditions for the next 100,000 years.
Ice cores, ocean sediment cores, the geologic record, and studies of ancient plant and animal populations all demonstrate a regular cyclic pattern of Ice Age glacial maximums which each last about 100,000 years, separated by intervening warm interglacials, each lasting about 12,000 years.
Most of the long-term climate data collected from various sources also shows a strong correlation with the three astronomical cycles which are together known as the Milankovich cycles. The three Milankovich cycles include the tilt of the earth, which varies over a 41,000 year period; the shape of the earth’s orbit, which changes over a period of 100,000 years; and the Precession of the Equinoxes, also known as the earth’s ‘wobble’, which gradually rotates the direction of the earth’s axis over a period of 26,000 years. According to the Milankovich theory of Ice Age causation, these three astronomical cycles, each of which effects the amount of solar radiation which reaches the earth, act together to produce the cycle of cold Ice Age maximums and warm interglacials.
Elements of the astronomical theory of Ice Age causation were first presented by the French mathematician Joseph Adhemar in 1842, it was developed further by the English prodigy Joseph Croll in 1875, and the theory was established in its present form by the Serbian mathematician Milutin Milankovich in the 1920s and 30s. In 1976 the prestigious journal “Science” published a landmark paper by John Imbrie, James Hays, and Nicholas Shackleton entitled “Variations in the Earth’s orbit: Pacemaker of the Ice Ages,” which described the correlation which the trio of scientist/authors had found between the climate data obtained from ocean sediment cores and the patterns of the astronomical Milankovich cycles. Since the late 1970s, the Milankovich theory has remained the predominant theory to account for Ice Age causation among climate scientists, and hence the Milankovich theory is always described in textbooks of climatology and in encyclopaedia articles about the Ice Ages.
In their 1976 paper Imbrie, Hays, and Shackleton wrote that their own climate forecasts, which were based on sea-sediment cores and the Milankovich cycles, “… must be qualified in two ways. First, they apply only to the natural component of future climatic trends – and not to anthropogenic effects such as those due to the burning of fossil fuels. Second, they describe only the long-term trends, because they are linked to orbital variations with periods of 20,000 years and longer. Climatic oscillations at higher frequencies are not predicted… the results indicate that the long-term trend over the next 20,000 years is towards extensive Northern Hemisphere glaciation and cooler climate.”
During the 1970s the famous American astronomer Carl Sagan and other scientists began promoting the theory that ‘greenhouse gasses’ such as carbon dioxide, or CO2, produced by human industries could lead to catastrophic global warming. Since the 1970s the theory of ‘anthropogenic global warming’ (AGW) has gradually become accepted as fact by most of the academic establishment, and their acceptance of AGW has inspired a global movement to encourage governments to make pivotal changes to prevent the worsening of AGW.
The central piece of evidence that is cited in support of the AGW theory is the famous ‘hockey stick’ graph which was presented by Al Gore in his 2006 film “An Inconvenient Truth.” The ‘hockey stick’ graph shows an acute upward spike in global temperatures which began during the 1970s and continued through the winter of 2006/07. However, this warming trend was interrupted when the winter of 2007/8 delivered the deepest snow cover to the Northern Hemisphere since 1966 and the coldest temperatures since 2001. It now appears that the current Northern Hemisphere winter of 2008/09 will probably equal or surpass the winter of 2007/08 for both snow depth and cold temperatures.
The main flaw in the AGW theory is that its proponents focus on evidence from only the past one thousand years at most, while ignoring the evidence from the past million years — evidence which is essential for a true understanding of climatology. The data from paleoclimatology provides us with an alternative and more credible explanation for the recent global temperature spike, based on the natural cycle of Ice Age maximums and interglacials.
In 1999 the British journal “Nature” published the results of data derived from glacial ice cores collected at the Russia’s Vostok station in Antarctica during the 1990s. The Vostok ice core data includes a record of global atmospheric temperatures, atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gases, and airborne particulates starting from 420,000 years ago and continuing through history up to our present time.

Uh, MN just had the coldest winter in 130 years. Where 1 to 3 evenings 25 below, F were de rigueur, we had two dozen. We had a stretch of 44 days without breaking zero F. While not threatening the record of 68 days set in 1874, still a six sigma departure from the norm.
We’ve had the yearly total in precip over the past 90 days. A year ago last April we had 40 inches of snow and record late ice outs in many lakes mid-May.
This has not been due to a displacement of Arctic air from Siberia, it is not due to PDO in negative phase, it’s not a linear increase in atmospheric carbon.
Merely because one cannot say where the truth lies does not insure one is not lying.
It is clearly visible blockade ozone in the region of Australia. Lows arctic and jetstream will move north. Ice stopped.

So things got changed on to Earth because of
our unique situation that we call as plume rise. Although analytical chemistry 1952 it is sometimes
impossible to tell where the pollutants seep down. Is he still surviving, I
do not know what is the energy released during the atomic explosions.
Kristan chemistry changes in the stratosphere due to changes in UV radiation and galactic radiation. This is due to changes in solar activity.
Well, just in case anyone is still reading this, much like Australia, my native South Africa has also had a winter with many record lows. There was even talk of snow in my home town, Pretoria. That would have made it the second time in 3 years and the 3rd in my entire lifespan of 33 years, the first being when I was too young to remember it. Those of you who happened to have visited South Africa can attest that the one thing South Africa is most definitely not known for is snow. Make of the record lows and increased likelihood of snow what you wish.
“On July 14, 2014, a sounding rocket will be ready to launch from White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico a little before noon local time. Soaring up to 180 miles into Earth’s atmosphere, past the layers that can block much of the sun’s high energy light, the Degradation Free Spectrometers experiment will have six minutes to observe the extreme ultraviolet and soft x-rays streaming from the sun, in order to measure the sun’s total energy output, known as irradiance, in these short wavelengths.
The total solar irradiance, and to an even greater degree, irradiance at high energy wavelengths is known to change over time in conjunction with the sun’s approximately-11-year solar cycle. How it changes over longer periods of time, however, is less certain – but fairly important if we’re going to understand how solar variability affects Earth’s space environment.”

[snip . . try and be civil. . mod] Antarctica ( and the ENTIRE southern hemisphere ) works on the OPPOSITE schedule that we do?!?!?!? NOOOO, apparently not…Not all of the the Ice is -80F…. it IS surrounded by all of the southern oceans… they are going into winter, as we are going into summer…. I should know, I winter-overed… as a meteorologist…. [snip . . ibid . . mod]
The high for the day to the south in MPLS/STP will be 64 F. The high for the week is forecast at 79 F. We peaked above 80 F a couple afternoons last week. We have not threatened 90 F this season.
No way corn makes 2500 GDD before first frost.
Not to worry, global warming causes water to melt even when the temp is well below freezing!
Al Goreleone , the High Priest of Church of Climatology, needs to be allowed to delete all comments here and issue a statement for our own good.
Is this due to an instability from the poles like the Americas suffered?
