Provided I have no scientific basis to back this; I can’t help but think this is kinda good thing as I’m guessing there is less greenhouse gas in the South Pole atmosphere (again no evidence to back this) and the excess heat from the earth is then able to more easily escape into outer space.

I wonder how much climate change models take into account the distribution of green house gases and the fluid dynamic of air molecules with regard to temperature differences.


It seems to me that the obvious context is that it's spring there, so saying it's massively warmer than usual is another way of saying spring is slightly earlier than usual, but making it sound more extreme.
