  • Summary

  • It's summer 2022, and an area of East Antarctica is over 38.5°C warmer than it should be. The mercury has risen to a chilly -10°C... but it should be -50°C. It's the most extreme temperature event ever recorded, and we now know this was caused by global warming.

    The increase in extreme weather events is the erratic, sharp end of climate change. But what happens when extreme weather hits the continent of extremes - Antarctica?
    Climate scientists Dr Louise Sime and Dr Tom Bracegirdle from British Antarctic Survey are here with your briefing why global warming is causing extreme weather. How do we work out which extreme events are due to climate change? And what does this mean for our future climate?
