When they write that temperatures are 40* degrees above normal, do they ever actual state what the temperature actually is?
Uh, define “normal” for us ecowankers. Just what is the “correct” temperature?
32 is freezing plus 40 means the water is 72 degrees in Greenland. Unless they were talking centigrade then the water would be 104.

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.”
