    A reminder for context: it’s not summer yet in Antarctica. Summer doesn’t start until December. It’s still supposed to be cold.

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

        That is not correct. The Antarctic gained far less ice, but it did gain.

          hey thanks for the details, I misread the ice shelf dropping off as total losses. it’s still the worst winter on record. https://www.reuters.com/world/no-quick-fix-reverse-antarctic-sea-ice-loss-warming-intensifies-scientists-2023-08-08/

    That’s not entirely our fault, it is of course in part because of global warming, but there was a volcano that erupted that punched a hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica

      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

        I found this: “With its plug still intact but threatened by warm water upwelling, the Ice Tongue prevents the majority of West Antarctica land and undersea ice from collapse and seabed displacement, respectively. The changes are profound and terrifying. The land-fast ice is gone in front of PIG and Thwaites before the melt season begins. This is not going to end well.”

      https://www.sciencealert.com/striking-expansion-of-two-antarctic-flowering-plants-is-a-climate-warning

      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.

        Ok just wondering if it was some long frozen plantlife that just thawed out recently.

    Important notice: Fossil fuel companies have shifted the narrive they push from “climate change isn’t real” to “climate change is real but there’s nothing we can do about it”. We can absolutely do something about it: fight it like the existential threat that it is. Whatever power you can levy in life whether at home, at work, at the voting booth, with your investments, or in the streets: use it.

    This is literal fake news. Climate change is certainly a thing. Flowers blooming in Antarctica currently is not. Careful about spreading lies if we clothe the truth(climate change) in lies dumb people will think its all lies.

      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.
