No matter what you and the morons leading you say
Temperatures in the
Arctic are predicted to rise nearly 50 degrees above normal from Thursday under the spell of a pre-Christmas heat wave. It means the frozen tundra is racing close to a melting point.
The surging warmth in the past two months has already left scientists jittery, as escalating temperatures are feared to hit ice formation or coverage next summer and bring it down to record low levels. More warming trends are hitting the region as a result of climate change effects.
Walt Meier, a NASA scientist at the Goddard Space Flight Center, said the current warmth is an offshoot of fluctuations in the jet stream that is passing frigid air to North America and parts of the Arctic.
Alarming Indicators
However, stark climate change indicators are setting off alarm bells. The record low polar sea ice is a big concern and the heat wave of November has led to the region losing 19,000 square miles of sea ice in less than a week, which was described as "almost unprecedented occurrence" by the National Snow and Ice Data Center.
There is worry that despite the North Pole lying in darkness after the Sun left in late October,
high temperatures are going to reign the Christmas season.

HOLY SHIT !!! As much as FIFTY DEGREES???
Back that shit up NASA. Those jerks are probably referencing to the ALL TIME recorded low temperature. Not averages.. And a quick at the REAL forecast for Barrow Alaska, ground zero for this "warm spike" will calm the alarm bells.. First of all, --- it's COLDER than normal in 1/2 of the arctic. Siberia is in the fucking freezer registering -30 and -40degF days.
Here's the forecast for Barrow. North slope of Alaska.
Barrow, AK | 4.1° | Light Snow Blowing Snow
Not much change at all ---- ALL week long. And how does do those numbers sit with records and statistics??

Note SEVERAL things here. From the low end of the "normal range" to the ACTUAL forecast temperatures is NOT 50 degrees. It's 30degF.. And from the AVERAGE, the forecast is less 20degF departure. The only way NASA gets that headline is to be unethical and use the ALL TIME RECORD LOW for the date of -49degF.
And when did that all time record LOW get set? 1994..

Did ya miss the press panic about that one?
What was the all time record HIGH on that date? 31degF.. When was it set? 1983..
So NASA has scraped the bottom of the barrel to put out this code Orange panic alert. The folks in Siberia are laughing at propaganda exceeding that of Pravda. And the minions of faithful are buying it all. Wholesale.
The variability in some parts of the Arctic is GIGANTIC. Because there's a very loose definition of "arctic" in meterology and climate that includes a LOT of land mass. Not just the arctic ocean. So there's plenty of opportunity for the "pros" to purposely confuse weather with climate.
