Antarctica hits 63.5°F as Mitch McConnell promises to sabotage global climate pact

Scientists have measured what is likely the highest temperature ever on Antarctica: 63.5 degrees Fahrenheit (17.5 Celsius).
<snip>
It's hard to draw much conclusion from a single temperature record, cautions Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist with NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City. Last year Antarctica also logged a record cold temperature, he notes.
And what does our Senate Majority leader say to the world about the undeniable climate change that has been observed by 99 % of scientists?
"Considering that two-thirds of the U.S. federal government hasn't even signed off on the Clean Power Plan and 13 states have already pledged to fight it, our international partners should proceed with caution before entering into a binding, unattainable deal."
I don't think Mitch understands - the Earth is warming, if humans don't take action to correct the parts that are correctable, Lonesome George won't be the only turltle without a job.
