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.

Yeah - and back in January of 1973 or 1974, the machine shop I worked in at Rochester New York gave us free ice cream - something that only happened when it reached 90 degrees outside - we’re still here.....even though we generally only got it a few times during the Summer and January was supposed to be in the 20s....

Can these idiots not see the huge mass of super-COLD air just south of the pole? It’s right on their own freaking map, the huge purple spot.

Anecdotes are not science unless they fit our narrative.

I think it’s 40’s/30’s tomorrow and the next ten days looks more seasonable ... 40’s day - 30’s and lower nights.

Really? What happened to Joe Bastardy? I would trust his comments over the global community.

If you look at their graphic depiction, they show two large areas, of about the same size, one that is about 35 degrees warmer than “average” and one that is about 35 degrees colder than “average”.

It makes me doubt their data and conclusions.

Two large areas of reasonable proximity, with a 70 degrees spread between them...
