Move to P&R before all the internet experts on climate science come out to display their ignorance.

It's a fake story.
"He kept talking about when they 'get down to chili', and I thought they were talking about the order in which they would consume their food supplies", Mrs. Schneider recounted. "I had no idea they were talking about Chile, the country from which you usually fly or sail in order to reach Antarctica".
Apparently, while all of Prof. Schneider's friends were assuming that the July trek would be to Greenland, during Northern Hemisphere summer, his plans were actually to snowmobile to the South Pole - which, in July, is in the dead of winter.
Mr. Dolittle related how some people do not realize that, even if there has been warming in Antarctica, the average temperature at the South Pole in July still runs about 70 degrees F below zero. "Some people think that July is warm everywhere on Earth."
The whole story is full of ridiculous details like this. It took me 30 seconds to google "james schneider frozen" and find the snopes.com page (http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/freeze.asp)

I think that's why he said "of sorts". It appears to be a satirical news site. It has some rather entertaining articles.
