Antarctica appears to have set a new high temperature record the other day at Esperanza Base, breaking the old record also set at the same location in 2015.

Yes but that is a one day event. Looking at the ice graph, Antarctica is about at normal in ice for the season.
 
The Arctic ice has made a nice recovery in extent this winter. It’s currently 14th lowest on record per JAXA and the overall graph and chart is the healthiest I’ve seen in recent years. Volume is still lagging but also recovering.

And here’s how it compares overall, courtesy of the Arctic sea ice forum.

That’s pretty good considering that the Arctic has still been running AN practically every day other than in summer.

Yeah the key is the cold has been in all the key areas and there haven’t been significant warm air intrusions into the fringe areas like the Bering and Chukchi Sea areas. Volume is now 5th lowest based on PIOMAS data so still a good bit of recovery needed there.

Hard to get too warm when the big PV just cranks up there all winter. Glad there's some recovery though. Going to need to build some depth or it's not gonna hang out long.

Maybe it will tame the summer heat too when the PV relaxes.

I'm really surprised that the Arctic is STILL AN even with the record high +AO and very long strong +AO preceding it! This is disappointing.

Throughout Earth’s History, Solar System Processes Controlled the Carbon Cycle

The world is waking up to the fact that human-driven carbon emissions are responsible for warming our climate, driving unprecedented changes to ecosystems, and placing us on course for the sixth mass extinction event in Earth's history. However, new research publishing this week in the leading in

"The United States saw the largest decline in energy-related CO2 emissions in 2019 on a country basis – a fall of 140 Mt, or 2.9%, to 4.8 Gt. US emissions are now down almost 1 Gt from their peak in the year 2000, the largest absolute decline by any country over that period."

YES! We are doing are part. No need to redistribute our wealth.

So with talk that warmer more humid weather deters the spread of viruses doesn't that kind of fly in the face of GW? Just food for thought....

Nah cause insects that carry viruses and parasites will be moving north as it gets warmer which will more that make up for it.

But is that true in other seasons besides winter?

Wow, we weren’t the only ones blazing. I know everyone is rightfully concerned about Coronavirus right now, but we need to not forget other even greater threats. I was out cycling this afternoon and saw a large group of children in bathing suits running through a sprinkler, on March 20th! The world is changing in many ways and like the Coronavirus, we need to make some difficult changes now, not in the future.
