Both poles set high temperature records last week, melting simultaneously, alarming scientists

Earth’s north and South Pole have opposite weather at any point of the year, with the South Pole now currently going into winter, and the North Pole coming out of it. However, both poles are experiencing ground-breaking record temperatures, simultaneously melting, causing alarm among scientists all over the world. ThePrint’s Sandhya Ramesh explains.

The missing parameter that is not being measured is water vapour in troposphere. Higher temperature results in not only higher concentration of water vapour but also a thicker troposphere. This meant more heat is trapped at the poles.

It's worrying, not that we are seeing more and more unprecedented extreme events, but that our models are and were underestimating them. Who knows what else we have missed ??

This is the best reporting and analysis of this I’ve seen. I appreciate your ability to be scientific without being reticent in your analysis.
The situation is truly terrifying.

The global water circulation if affected can have serious implications.

There has been an abnormal heat wave even here in India in the month of March itself.
Is this something which is going to be the norm worldwide?

Admiral Byrd around 100 years ago recorded temperatures in Antarctica that were twelve degrees warmer than this. If you notice, they only go back 65 years. This is nothing new. They are trying to scare you.

Hi, Thanks for keeping up the updates on science news.

[dr.OgataSerizawa]

The tipping point was decades ago. No going back now. The last 50 years have been wasted talking about it. And doing nothing. Now, it’s too late to fix the problem.

The 6th extinction has been initiated.

Here in Ireland there is a spike in temperature too, touching 17° C

Which is June-july temperature

How can someone be talking about this kind of alarming news while showing CARS advertisings???!!!

[AkKur-fkzq]

Thanks for the global commentary on global warming. At the same time please also include what it means for india as whole and it's different zones.

[StressRUs]

Well done and informative presentation! Thank you. Stress R Us

Summer at both poles? Really? At one single location? How utterly terrifying!!!

[madandu]

If higher-temp + melting ice-sheet found simultaneously at both poles then it's like double-whammy. Hope it is an anomaly.
Else we should start preparations to handle its effects.

Both poles are moving toward convergence in India and polar bears are migrating to Siberia which is at least for now, north of India. Seems pretty organic.

0:27 how can the arctic come out from summer and go into spring? is arctic able to timetravel?

Only 5.9k views for such an important topic. The world won’t wake up until it is too late.

Good video with accurate straight ahead reporting.

Just checked and Vostok Antarctica is -60C which is pretty normal for this time of the year. On the coast of Antarctica Casey station is currently -10C. Again that isn't alarming. This video is yet another example of cherry picking.
