Political people in the United States are watching the chaos in Washington in the moment. But some people in the science community are watching the chaos somewhere else — the Arctic.
It’s polar night there now — the sun isn’t rising in much of the Arctic. That’s when the Arctic is supposed to get super-cold, when the sea ice that covers the vast Arctic Ocean is supposed to grow and thicken.
But in fall of 2016 — which has been a zany year for the region, with multiple records set for low levels of monthly sea ice — something is totally off. The Arctic is super-hot, even as a vast area of cold polar air has been displaced over Siberia.

OH MY GOD WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!
God knows what he’s doing...He’s been doing it since the beginning of time.
yeah well the mother ####ing Staten Island Pole is gonna be 34 degrees this Tuesday night.
And we’re still a #### of a bunch of days from winter.
Stupid ####s.
Excuse the ###s.
Post of the day!
So, longer growing seasons up north. That’s a good thing.
The North Pole is the New Florida ,D’oh
So why are a couple of pixies sitting on their asses in an office in Washington worried about this?
Denver went from 80 degrees to 19 and snow in about 24 hours.
5 degrees here this morning....Idaho. We usually don’t get this cold this time of year....that is more January weather 20 below then.
Yes, we did! I want my summer, I mean Fall back.
With a baseline of 1979-2000, their analysis is little more than waste. Also, coming from an organization with “Climate Change” in their title, leaves their summation suspect. Where did they pull their data from?
Is our climate changing? The succession of temperate summers and open winters through several years, culminating last winter in the almost total failure of the ice crop throughout the valley of the Hudson, makes the question pertinent.
The older inhabitants tell us that the Winters are not as cold now as when they were young, and we have all observed a marked diminution of the average cold even in this last decade. - New York Times June 23, 1890
The polar bears are so confused they are petting dogs instead of eating them....

who is to say what the normal temp of the north pole should be.
I believe it.
But the North ###ing Pole is melting so we’re doomed.
Get the #### out of here.
I still shiver at night sometimes thinking 100k votes in three states combined decided the election.
THANK YOU GOD!!
The Oceanographic observations have, however, been even more interesting. Ice conditions were exceptional.
In fact, so little ice has never been noted. The expedition all but established a record….Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society - January 1905
Another Ice Age is coming
The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot.... Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone...
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. - Washington Post 11/2/1922
