Here's what it says according to various researchers, per the article: “This event is completely unprecedented and upended our expectations about the Antarctic climate system" “Antarctic climatology has been rewritten,” "Concordia -18.0 °C unthinkable value in mid-March " And then for something less extreme: “[W]e can’t tell whether this is going to be a new trend or is just an oddity that occurs occasionally on a most fascinating continent,” Personally, I think it's important to pay attention when experts in the field say things like unprecedented and unthinkable on the record. Especially given scientists have a tendency to be more conservative. I think it's a pretty shallow dismissal to say that it really says nothing when experts are saying the opposite.
