I find it hilarious that they're like "It's 14F! Break out the shorts and T-shirts!" Meanwhile anyone anywhere else (except the Arctic regions) is like "This is pretty fucking cold".

I had hoped you just missed a decimal point but it seems you did not.

I've lived on the coast of Australia most of my life, but I moved a good couple of hundred kilometres inland last year. I'm really looking forward to having waterfront property again pretty soon.

Hell, it's already too hot for human habitation here most of the year. I might as well enjoy the view before I croak.

Damn researchers walking around in shirts at -10°C??

instead of adding ice this winter, they lost ice. during antarctic winter.

Haggle.

After???? Are you all planning on surviving the after wars? I’ll probably be taken out by a rusty nail after medical breaks down.

After? Probably still be corpsing. I just hope I can take some rich fucks with me before I go.

Time to start canning the dryland.

Probably going to be dead after few days of war starting.

Dunno, but im going to start collecting books

I plan to volunteer with a corporation in the bio wars after that!

The hole in the ozone layer is more our fault than the volcano's. The volcano was what disturbed the ozone layer (it's pretty high up there,) but the reason that the hole didn't naturally close is that we were using CFCs in aerosol cans, and those were destroying so much ozone that the hole stuck around for 25 years and gave penguins cancer. It's literally the only major change we have made in regards to climate change, and it worked! The hole is now almost closed. Moral of the story: you want any real action on climate change? Take UV lamps and give penguins skin cancer. Then the dumb apes will pay attention

From the article:

Flowering plants in the Antarctic region are rapidly expanding, scientists say, indicating the continuing effects of climate change on the continent. The findings suggest we may have reached a tipping point in this fragile, remote ecosystem.

A new study of this plant expansion looked at the two flowering plants native to Antarctica, Deschampsia antarctica and Colobanthus quitensis. Researchers measured the growth and expansion of these plants on a small subantarctic island called Signy Island from 2009 to 2019.

Some seeds are carried place to place on the winds. They probably came from Australia or southern Chile or Argentina or some such place.

Yeah pretty sure flowers would have already had to have been there to be blooming. Not a lot of birds migrating to Antarctica spreading seeds.

This is literal fake news. Climate change is certainly a thing. Flowers blooming in Antarctica currently is not.

Uhm, your own source says differently though?

While a 2022 study did find a global warming-related expansion in the range of two Antarctic flowering plants, the photo does not show those plant species.
