While the followers of the climate catastrophe continue to report on allegedly melting polar ice caps, the South Pole is freezing to a cold minimum that has not been measured since 1981. On 15 October, the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station recorded an incredible minus 61.3 degrees Celsius – in the middle of the Antarctic spring, at a time when it was supposed to be getting warmer.

While politicians and the media declare one state of emergency after another in a constant frenzy of climate panic, reality is once again failing to keep up. Instead of simply melting away, the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station reported a temperature of minus 61.3 degrees Celsius on 15 October 2025. This is the coldest October since 1981.
While politicians, climate activists and taxpayer-funded paid scientists have been telling us for years that extreme heat is “the new normal”, the measurement series from the South Pole Station show the exact opposite. The trend in recent years is by no means a dramatic melting or heating of the atmosphere, but rather the exact opposite of the panic propaganda: naturally occurring extreme temperature fluctuations – including striking cold phases that reduce any claim of a linear, CO₂-driven climate collapse to absurdity.
The value of minus 61.3 degrees Celsius was measured in the Antarctic spring, i.e. at a time when the sun is already back in the Arctic Circle and the big climate explanation machines from ARD to IPCC are otherwise tirelessly reporting on the alleged “dramatic melting”. And that’s not even all. Back in 2021, even CNN, a loyal drummer in the global climate orchestra, published an interesting report: Antarctica had the coldest winter since records began that year.
There is no linear warming trend
Extreme temperature events like this are not a singular phenomenon, but part of a long-term trend that is systematically concealed in the media. While the narrative of “exploding global warming” dominates the headlines, measuring stations such as Vostok, Dome C or Amundsen-Scott repeatedly show significant cold extremes. The reason for this lies in well-researched climatological mechanisms such as stratospheric waves, polar vortex stability and cloud cover. In other words: Natural climate influences, not the ideologically inflated trace gas CO2, continue to determine weather patterns.
Climate models have been regularly wrong for over 30 years. They systematically overestimate temperature trends. The IPCC’s forecasts from the 1990s are now only material for cabaret evenings when compared with real measurements. Modellers declared at the time that the polar regions would experience the strongest warming. But the South Pole region is defiantly resisting. In some places it has even become colder. If climate research were an honest business, all modelling assumptions would have to be reconsidered in the event of such deviations.
The new Antarctic temperature record is another nail in the coffin of the CO₂ dogma. Because one thing is certain: if CO₂ really were the dominant climate factor, this kind of thing shouldn’t be happening at all. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could well be higher today than in previous centuries. And yet there is no dramatic warming in the Antarctic. On the contrary. So what is wrong? Either the models are wrong or the CO₂ theory is incomplete. Both would be fatal for the prevailing climate narrative. Even more so for the politicians who are destroying entire industries and dispossessing populations because they claim that the majority of experts regard the “science” and the findings on which it is based as reliable.
