The Concordia Station March Data Story
Concordia Station is Getting Colder, so says the Long-Term Data for the Month of March.
A Dutch newspaper recently claimed otherwise:
The Article reads: "Scientists: it's way too hot in Antarctica"
Wetenschappers: het is veel te warm op Antarctica | Buitenland | Telegraaf.nl
H/T to Hans Kolmschate from Clintel Foundation for sending me the Telegraph article!
The Telegraaf article about the "Mind Boggling Temperatures" at Concordia Station, according to some "Scientists with Myopia" in March of 2022 is based on the 6-Day Fluke Event, that normally gets written off as "Weather", or an Extreme Outlier. Don't you know the difference between "Weather" and "Climate", I am often reminded by Climate Crisis believers.
Ok, fair enough, good point, so this 6-Day "Mind Boggling Heat Event" in March of 2022, is exactly that, a Weather Event. It has not happened since. The overall Climate Trend is in the Colder Direction.
We are in 2024 now, it is not 2022 anymore, so should the Telegraaf not update their Science? Is this another "Look over there (2022), not over here (2024) situation/Head Fake?
When one takes a closer look at long term Data from 1997 - 2024, there is a clear downward Trend line discernable in the Temperature of Concordia Station.
