The spin required by the AGW alarmists is hysterical.
“Antarctica hits new record high temperature of 17.5C,” reads the headline. “This refers to something that happened two years ago!” says reader Argiris Diamantis.
“The extreme of 17.5C (63.5F) was reached on 24 March 2015 at the Argentine Research Base Esperanza at the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, according to a report in the American Geophysical Union’s publication Eos.”

“So one very short moment, two years ago, at the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, it was quite warm,” says Argiris.
They didn’t mention this:
“Antarctica sets low temperature record
of -135.8 degrees F ( -93,2 C)”
