Its 65 F (18 C) in antarctica at the moment. The hottest temperature every recorded in antarctica. You can literally sit outside with a short sleeve shirt on at the south pole and not be cold right now...
@freemo
It's currently -25F at the south pole with a chill factor of -47F.
I don't know about you, but I would not only be FUCKIING COLD, but frost bitten within minutes.

From the article at the Washington post :
In... the past 50 years, temperatures have [increased] 5 degrees*
* abbreviated to remove alarmist language and make factual rather than editorial
“So overall, this record looks to be a one time extreme event that doesn’t tell us anything about Antarctic climate change,”
@SecondJon @sda @freemo Well my question wasn't about global warming so much as two wildly varying accounts of the current temperature.
@realcaseyrollins @SecondJon @sda @freemo he probably read the article from two years ago around this date and didnt check year
My post was just a day late, the temperature I mentioned was on feb 6th. Here is the wikipedia quote:
The highest temperature ever recorded on the Antarctic continent was 18.3 °C (64.9 °F) at Esperanza Base, on the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, on 6 February 2020
