Temperatures leap 40 degrees above normal Arctic Ocean, Greenland ice sheet see record melting (tr)

Ice is melting in unprecedented ways as summer approaches in the Arctic. In recent days, observations have revealed a record-challenging melt event over the Greenland ice sheet, while the extent of ice over the Arctic Ocean has never been this low in mid-June during the age of weather satellites.

Greenland saw temperatures soar up to 40 degrees above normal Wednesday, while open water exists in places north of Alaska where it seldom, if ever, has in recent times.

It’s “another series of extreme events consistent with the long-term trend of a warming, changing Arctic,” said Zachary Labe, a climate researcher at the University of California at Irvine.

And the abnormal warmth and melting of ice in the Arctic may be messing with our weather.

Data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center show that the Greenland ice sheet appears to have witnessed its biggest melt event so early in the season on record this week (although a few other years showed similar mid-June melting).

The hot air from Washington DC has finally reached Greenland.

Whether you say “leap” or “soar,” it’s still a lie. Temperatures go up and down. Outliers appear. Outliers are not normal, but they do occur. They mean nothing.

This reminds me, that next year, in 2020, it will be the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. So I’m sure they will have lots of special events for that anniversary.

And as the 2020 presidential election campaign will be going on then, whichever Democrat candidates are still running in the primaries, will be using the huge carbon footprint of a presidential campaign to express support for controlling global warming.

And Trump will be Hitler to the enviro extremists.

I looked at the weather records and the temperature today is about 4 degrees above June “normal”. If it were actually 40 above normal it would be 10 degrees hotter than Miami.

IT has been very cold in much of the US. Colder that people can remember for this time of year. Temps are sometimes in the 40’s at night and the rain almost never stops.

Exactly!

And it’s less time than you might think because the Landsat program only began in 1972. It would have possibly taken years to have more than a few pictures from space of anyplace uninteresting to the national security types.

All weather is local. Move the ice sheet to Wyoming.

70 in Nebraska and the wettest spring in 25 years.

That about 20 degrees below normal temps.

But I’m 59. I’ve seen it before. Young ones think it’s the end of the earth.

Below is a link to a report from the Monthly Weather Review, the source materials for an article published in the Washington Post headlined “Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt.” It was published on November 2, 1922.

Never been so low during the years of weather satellites.


The first satellite - TIROS I - went up in 1960 for a 78 day working life. So that gives us less than 60 years or so of observations.

Thanks for sharing. Had no idea this kind of propaganda was going on for so long.

Unusually cold = weather
Unusually hot = climate change requiring all capitalism to be extinguished for socialist policies!

Not possible. They have to be eliminating unwanted data or just making it up. It wouldn’t be the first time.
