From the article referenced by CrankyCharlie.
“On April 29, almost minus 80 degrees were measured at the Russian Vostok research station. Such extreme cold is rarely reached this early in the year,” reported wetteronline.de.
The record, -89.3°C, was recorded in the middle of winter, on July 21, 1983, thus making the last week’s late April reading very unusual.
“Values below minus 80 degrees in April are also extremely rare at the Earth’s cold pole and have only been recorded three times in the last 60 years,” wetteronline.de adds.
So, two questions spring to mind?
Does this one reading invalidate the previous research about climate change?
Was this a real reading or Russian misinformation to sew disharmony in the debate about climate change. (Note, Russia has been reported by multiple government agencies a significant contributor to misinformation about several topics).
