An Antarctic research station has provisionally recorded the continent's hottest temperature of 18.3C, beating the previous record by 0.8C.

The Antarctic Peninsula, the northwest tip near South America, is among the fastest-warming regions on earth, with temperatures rising almost 3C during the past 50 years, the WMO said.

Professor James Renwick, a climate scientist at Victoria University of Wellington, told the Guardian Australia the WMO committee would likely reconvene to ratify the record. "To have a new record set that quickly is surprising but who knows how long that will last? Possibly not that long at all."A 'gigantic' 315 billion tonne piece of ice has broken loose from Antarctica

Climate alarmism in the media has been rampant in recent times, hence even legitimate discussion on potential warming is being scoffed by the public. Let alarmism go so a conversation can ensue.
