Antarctica Temperature Satellite

(24 hour loop with images from 12 AM and 3 AM missing, click here). All exhibit far higher temperatures than ever noted before. East Antarctica is warmer than ever before and the only place still able to achieve tempertures of negative thirty, but, only for 6 hours.

There is an aggressive warming trend over Antarctica. The frigid air mass is gone. What remains is the inertia of the ice and the location of the continent. The 'heat' balance of Antarctica has been 'moved' from it's long standing stability. Heat transfers from the equator are chronic and in my opinion dangerous to Earth.
