This week: • An iceberg the size of Atlanta broke off a glacier • Researchers discovered a dramatic decline in Antarctic penguin colonies • Antarctica may have just registered its hottest temperature ever

In case all of that was not enough to make you at least a little concerned, yet another unusually high temperature was logged in the Antarctic Peninsula on February 9, when a weather station on Seymour Island produced a reading of almost 70 degrees. The World Meteorological Association is trying to verify it as a new record.

" Read MoreThe decline of the Antarctic penguin colonies provides evidence of the effects of this broader warming on the animals that inhabit these sensitive regions. The number of penguins on Elephant Island, where a recently released survey took place, is half what it was at the last survey in 1971.Noah Strycker, an ornithologist and penguin researcher at Stony Brook University, told CNN that climate change has removed these penguins' primary food source, krill.

Quick unpack of FakeNews : calving is normal with growth of glaciers. Penguin colonies are distressed by human scientists - not AGW.. A specific SUMMER temperature reading at tip of Antarctic peninsula near South America is normal and should not be applied to entire continent.

BelieveScience

'Warmest temperature ever' ? Wasn't the first real exploration to Antarctica not until around 1904? Research stations weren't built until the '50's. Yeah, forever ago.

Damn... prayers up for all those people in Antartica! 🙌🏻

how big is Atlanta ?

History repeats itself.

And your point is? Since beginning of time our planet has gone through enormous changes. This 'climate change' hysteria is asinine.

Nature does what is meant to be. Worry not. People are created to die. Every thing else, like people, in the universe that the nature created shall die and shall be recycled some where, some time. Enjoy Nature for what it is this moment.

But Obama bought a beach house, won’t it flood

Had this convo today, with a client who called to book an expedition to Antarctica I traveled there last year during winter. Never wore a parka. Had to remove layers of clothing due to extremely mild temps. Witnessed icebergs collapsing everywhere while zipping around in zodiacs

😥

More FakeNews to guilt people into paying taxes which benefit the elites of the world. ClimateHoax

So? Still giving equal time on this?

J_Nandwa What does NASA have to respond to this though? 🤔

It’s going to be a hot one this year

Seymour Island is about 65 degrees South, which is outside the Antarctic Circle. By comparison, utqiagvik in Alaska, at about 70 degrees North and well inside the Arctic Circle, has seen a temperature high of 79 degrees Fahrenheit.

Of course cnn. Of course

All is well, nothing to see here.

Mooooooooo!

The boy who cried wolf.

Hello Rocky Mountains

I thought it was the size of Malta?

Um this explains it

Oh my god

EvilDave_NXT Yes children

I can hear the republicans now, fake news lol

Oh, no, what is the hole in the ozone doing? Have icebergs ever broken off before? Maybe the Great Whites have had a feeding frenzy and took a toll on the penguins? So much stupidity, oh it is CNN.

Trump and his minions says all this scientific data and analysis is false.

SethAbramson 😪😢😪😢

No no no.........trumpy said climate change is all bullshit and I believe him because trumpy never lies. Obviously being sarcastic, but I have to add that in otherwise trumpanzees will actually think I'm being serious.

Animation shows iceberg almost as big as Las Vegas break away from Antarctica's Pine Island GlacierFour years-worth of satellite data shows three calving events in Pine Island Glacier on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, the most recent of which took place at the weekend. It's an animation, not real life. Sounds like something that happens every summer.

Jameela Jamil Slams Person Accusing Her of Having Munchausen SyndromeJameela Jamil takes to Twitter to set the record straight on claims she faked having cancer, concussions, broken bones and various food allergies I don't think it's Munchausen Syndrome, but she has some real issues she's not bothered to face I don't know her so whether she has real issues or not, I don't know. But I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which affects every system in my body. Took many years to get diagnosed. Even after diagnosis, many people still don't believe me. The whole bee thing does sound odd, tho. I am so over Jameela Jamil. Does she ever stop bitching?

Faced With Climate Risks, The Fed Is Falling Behind Its International PeersFed Chair Powell delivered weak responses to questions on climate change and the central bank's role in fighting it during Congressional testimony this week. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 they will bend the knee!
