The Arctic is warming faster than previously thought, according to a new study.
NASA researchers using satellite analysis to confirm air temperatures documented from 2003 to 2017 across the globe found widespread similarities to past measurements when they compared the new, satellite-based results to temperatures previously produced in research stations.
"It means we may have been underestimating Arctic changes," study co-author Gavin Schmidt says. "We have massive warming that's going on there."
The results show that relying on land and ocean surface temperatures isn't enough to gain the whole picture, according to Schmidt, the director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
Brenda Ekwurzel, the director of climate science at the Union of Concerned Scientists, who was not involved in the research, says it details an exciting method to more accurately capture global temperatures.
Schmidt says researchers wanted to produce an independent way of checking previous calculations to help combat the criticism that global warming estimates face. But for some climate change deniers, no amount of data will be enough, he says.
"For a long time we've been looking for more nails to bang into an already nailed-shut coffin," Schmidt says.
Despite the fact that President Donald Trump has challenged the science behind and the implications of climate change, federal agencies like NASA continue to produce rigorously reviewed research, Ekwurzel says.
"The scientific process is robust and ongoing no matter who is in political office," she says.
But policymakers have to take notice for anything to be done.
"We don't want a scientific tree falling in the forest that no one sees or acts upon," Ekwurzel says.

Weather NAZIS.
Yes, Goebbels would be proud....the propaganda scam continues.
Of course it does.
NASA is a wholly owned subsidiary of the globalist cabal moving towards taking over the whole world.
Schmidt is still getting white collar welfare from Space?
You know how long they’ve been pushing this hoax? FORTY years! I found the source....

The end of the earth is predicted by its Creator in Gis word. Maybe its time to believe in the eternal truths.
The Arctic is warming faster than previously thought, according to a new study.

They say that in every study. Can’t they get out in front for a change and EXPECT it to be warmer BEFORE the study?
(Just curious.)
His word.
The polar ice caps have been growing for years. This has been documented, and can’t be rationally disputed, yet climate alarmists continue to claim otherwise.
To hell with the truth - it’s all about the agenda.
Sometimes the planet get warmer, sometimes the planet gets colder.
Welcome to The Wonderful World of Weather.
At any given time, one side of the planet is warmer than the other.
These are the clowns that are not even competent to build their own rocket engines, but have outsourced them to RUSSIA.
Despite an increase in atmospheric co2 2018 dropped to the alleged 4th hottest year on record:
NYT: It’s Official: 2018 Was the Fourth-Warmest Year on Record
US News included the ubiquitous over-saturated red, 'sky on fire' scare photo.
But that's 'new' ice. 'New' ice doesn't count.
They predicted loss of arctic ice cap by 2000, and incrementally through 2020 and even 2030. I find that hard to believe that it was underestimated.
We’re not saying that global warming is political but if you don’t vote Democrat we’re all gonna die.
NASA = Never A Straight Answer.
It’s a branch of the CIA, successor to NACA, harbor for hundreds of Operation Paperclip transplants (literal Nazis that think they won the war (and maybe to some extent they did))
DS “investors” of the CIA will use NASA:
1) to make more money, freely using insider information
2) to siphon money for their breakaway civilization
3) to engage in domestic disinformation and propaganda
4) to send money to their friends
5) as a Muslim outreach (promote/infiltrate)
6) somewhat outdated: to win the cold war
7) collude with other country’s DS manifestations
