It's been happening for several years now, especially in the autumn, but it never ceases to unsettle meteorologists like myself: Temperatures in the Arctic are astonishingly warmer than they should be.
According to the University of Maine's Climate Reanlayzer, this weekend the Arctic Circle was an average 12 degrees Fahrenheit above normal.
"It's all but becoming an annual reminder of the rapid climate change we have observed in the Arctic," explains Dr. Zack Labe, an Arctic climate specialist from Colorado State University.
While the pace of global warming is the fastest we have seen in millions of years, nowhere is it warming faster than the Arctic. Temperatures in the Arctic are rising at three times the pace of the rest of the globe.
In 2020, Arctic warming is among the highest levels yet.
"The Arctic has transitioned from a state of old and thick sea ice to one with thin, first-year ice accompanied by rapidly warming ocean and air temperatures," explains Labe, providing evidence that the Arctic is shifting into a new climate regime.
This is having implications outside of the Arctic Ocean as well. In Siberia, from January to June 2020, a heat wave so widespread, prolonged and intense occurred that scientists found it would have been essentially impossible without human-caused climate change, and was made at least 600 times more likely by greenhouse warming.
That abnormal warmth has persisted all year.

Yeah sure
“we have seen in millions of years,”
You were a witness, were you?
Turn on the Climate Reanlayzer, cried Professor Zarkoff!
Oh NO, not the Reanlayzer!, screamed his assistant billy.
Its the Thing From Outer Space causing it!
Here comes all the globull warming propaganda as they try to justify the Paris accord and taxing the middle class out of existence.
It’s all them damn Polar Bears.
They bought a bunch of pot from Denver and they’re blowing weed like crazy.
I assume that’s the Goebbels pic that should be there.
I was astonished once.
You mean like when the vikings had farms and livestock in Greenland?
The Arctic become uninhabitable after all the Pollution from the 1930’s to the 1970’s Created the Global Cooling and Plunged us into another Ice Age!!
Then Miraculously all that Pollution changed course and began heating the Planet, taking us out of the Ice Age and ensuring our Survival.
THANK GOD FOR GLOBAL WARMING, because the next Ice Age will certainly KILL US ALL!!!
The housing market is going to soar in the Arctic.
Yeah, they figured this out with data collected from that “research” ship that spent last winter locked into frozen ice that didn’t get out until last June or whenever.
Here’s the reason you can’t have more than 6 gathered for Thanksgiving next year.
” Temperatures in the Arctic are astonishingly warmer than they should be.”
I forget, how warm should they be? Where do you look up the numbers?
What should the temperatures be?
“should be”?
I blame the 4 late term abortions that Greta Thunberg has had since she was 13 for the Artic’s dire circumstances
