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.
Meanwhile, Greenland is adding ice at near record rates right now.
In my part of Texas, our predicted low for today is 21.
We're gonn'a be 72 in SW Pa ! (63 right now at 1130AM)
EXTREMELY unusual, but it's here.
Anecdotes are not science unless they fit our narrative.
A mysterious warming of the climate is slowly manifesting itself in the Arctic, engendering a “serious international problem,” - New York Times - May 30, 1947
The cold pushes down in the west and moves the heat up in the east ,enjoy it while it lasts
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.
maybe they could show us the other hemisphere to see what temps are there?
[36 degrees warmer]
No doubt the source of heat is due to TRUMP LOVE!
Wait til Trump takes office...
If you think this story is over the top, just you wait.
Is that normal temp for you this time of year?
Oh yeah. Apparently there is a homeless epidemic in America as well.
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...
The MSM lies about EVERYTHING...now we’re supposed to believe this?? MSM, you’ve blown it.
Where’s my damn floaties. Or at least a couple of pool noodles.
