So much for global warming. It seems that scientists have photographed a rare weather phenomenon only possible in Earth's coldest climates:
Meteorological officer Renae Baker captured spectacular images of the nacreous clouds, also known as polar stratospheric clouds, last week at Australia's Mawson station in Antarctica.
The clouds only occur at high polar latitudes in winter, requiring temperatures less than minus 176 degrees Fahrenheit. A weather balloon measured temperatures at minus 189 degrees Fahrenheit on the day the photos were taken.
Minus 189? Shit, if Al Gore finds out about this it could crush his career renaissance and depress him back into his fat lumberjack phase.
