Scientists Harvest First Vegetables in Antarctic Greenhouse (apnews.com)

Scientists in Antarctica have harvested their first crop of vegetables grown without earth, daylight or pesticides as part of a project designed to help astronauts cultivate fresh food on other planets. From a report: Researchers at Germany's Neumayer Station III say they've picked 3.6 kilograms (8 pounds) of salad greens, 18 cucumbers and 70 radishes grown inside a high-tech greenhouse as temperatures outside dropped below -20 degrees Celsius (-4 Fahrenheit). The German Aerospace Center DLR, which coordinates the project, said Thursday that by May scientists hope to harvest 4-5 kilograms of fruit and vegetables a week.

Those pro-Trump denialists claiming you need a greenhouse to grow vegetables in Anatarctica when we all know there's RECORD HEAT down there.

I'll only let them live if they install a weather monitoring station inside the greenhouse and then give the temperature measurements a +5C adjustment in the name of TRUTH.
