North Pole Sees Unprecedented July Cold – Arctic Sees Shortest Summer On Record — ‘Normally the high Arctic has about 90 days above freezing. This year there was less than half that’

[Senator_Blutarski]

The problem with that claim is that the summer is not over.

It is in the high Arctic.

See, there is an explanation for GW. The temperature scale is not linear, it’s circular. algore was right after all.

Good to see you are still around.

We had 4” of snow on April 22nd this year and a major snow storm on April 4th. I have lived on the northern plains my whole life and have never seen that before. We have had near record lows during the last week of July with lows in the mid 40s and it is darn chilly this morning during what is typically the hottest part of the summer. Of course the global warming alarmists will be using tortured sophistry to explain why colder than normal temperatures are a manifestation of global warming.

But, but, but... Wasn’t it 80 degrees in Fairbanks the other day? And the latest snow storm of the season in May (or something like that)?

As with many such things, predicting the ramifications of this needs to wait until we see actual changes that can be linked to it.

The places that do not warm like the top of ice sheet in Greenland http://www.wunderground.com/weather-forecast/GL/Summit.html never have summer. The places that do warm down at sea level are still warming intermittently. Click on play here http://www.atmos.albany.edu/student/kgriffin/maps/850temp/850temp_arctic_loop.html and you will see slugs of 0C air (at 850)mb reaching to the north. Right now a low is forecast to remain near the north pole and keep things a little cooler (about -6C at 850 mb) but that is just weather.

Oh, come on. It isn’t officially winter until Dec. 22 (8^D), even though it has usually hit -20 or colder long before then. First frost usually around 1st week of Sept., but I think it’ll be early this year...
