New Record High Temperature At South Pole
New submitter Titus Andronicus writes "The South Pole experienced its highest-ever recorded temperature of -12.3C (+9.9F) on December 25, 2011, according to preliminary reporting from the Antarctic Meteorological Research Center at the University of Wisconsin."
You know they account for that right? no? shut up.
You know when the 'questionable'* station were removed, the same average temperature were seen, right? no? shut up.
Fucking ignorant people like who who seem to think there ignorant opinion has the same weight as actual experts is a bane to civilization.
*only questionable to people at the top of 'stupid mountain'

Correct. The single data point is, essentially, weather; whoever how does it fit into the trend? how does it fit into the predicted model?
Those are the climate questions.
Oh look, it's worse the predictions and fits into the overall trend.

Nope. Read the primary research.
What are you trying to claim, here? That climatologists do NOT work with computer models? That they make predictions without any modeling? Sure, they collect data - you can't build a computer model without SOME real-world data to build it from.
What an outrageous claim! What "primary research" are you referring to? Temperature readings? Ice cores? Tree rings? That's used for the modelling, but it's just data collection, not "research".
