The heat in Antarctica is yet another sign that our climate is in the extreme danger zone.
Meteorologists speak of a 'freak event'. Both the North and South Poles have been struggling with extreme heat for a week. Is this an indication that the Earth is warming even faster than we thought?
It's never been that hot before: at the North and South Poles, temperatures have been measured up to 30 degrees higher than what is normal for this time of year for days. At -115 degrees Celsius in Antarctica, the region's 2016 heat record fell last Friday. The situation is of great concern to climate scientists.
