Temperatures leap 40 degrees above normal Arctic Ocean, Greenland ice sheet see record melting (tr)
Washington Post ^ | June 15, 2019 | Jason Samenow

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).

I’m sorry I posted #73 now. It was meant to support and bolster your point.

You can stick your awards.

“temperatures soar up to 40 degrees above normal”
What a bunch of hog wash. Average temps in Greenland
is 50 degrees in June and July. It’s 51 degrees
there today. I don’t think there’s ever been a
90 deg day in Greenland.

Except for china who is polluting more than ever. Why don’t these idiots go after china? 93% of the world pollution comes from there.

We sometimes call 29 Palms, as Greenland, compared to Palm Springs, as it is the Land of Opportunity!

It was 90 this week.

I can barely remember five years ago, much less three million.

Ice is melting in unprecedented ways

As ice heats up the bonds between adjacent water molecules break and the water changes to liquid phase. That is not unprecedented. It is the way it always happens. The writer is an idiot, but then he works for the Washington Post, so that is sort of expected.

We just got back from an Alaskan Cruise. . . and we got snow in Skagway in the first week of June. The natives said it was highly unusually cold weather for Alaska in June. Our ship was turned away from being able to see the glacier at the end of the Endicott Arm due to TOO much ice, and the reports are that the Mendenhall Glacier has grown in the past ten years. Don’t tell me that the temperature was 40º above normal. That would have made the normal June temperatures below zero! It certainly was not.

The Greenland ice sheet has about 100,000 years of ice. Some ice is 1,000,000 years old. The Greenland Ice sheet disappeared about 2.9 million years ago between ice ages but came back when we entered the Quatenary Ice age.

So it was not clear of ice during the Renaissance.

Greenland saw temperatures soar up to 40 degrees above normal Wednesday...

Rochester, NY averages a low of 18 degrees overnight and a high of 32 degrees during January....the temp reached 90 degrees on January day in 73 or 74...that's 58 degrees above normal...and 45 years later we're still here...

Nope. That would be in the midst of the Little Ice Age. Even when the Vikings were there much of the island was still ice covered.

“When they write that temperatures are 40* degrees above normal, do they ever actual state what the temperature actually is?”

No. This illiterate author doesn’t even say the scale. (It’s Celsius).

But more. It’s not even a measured temperature. It’s made up. From the article.

“A simulation from the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting suggested that temperatures over Greenland may have peaked at around 40 degrees above normal on Wednesday.”

How were the 80-01 measurements made compared to 15-18?

“There is zero debate the earth is warming.”

How is that determined?

...so 104 F above normal in Greenland? I think someone needs to re-calibrate their simulation.
