What the hell is going on in the Artic?

Data fluke?  Error?  Judge for yourself:



Or, is the Earth going to undergo a major climate shift here soon?  Time will tell, I suppose.

North Pole above freezing in sign of 'sudden' and 'very serious' climate change

Temperatures near the North Pole have risen above freezing in the latest sign of the “sudden” and “very serious” changes to the Earth’s climate.

The US Weather Channel reported that at least five buoys near the pole had recorded temperatures between zero and 1.2C on Tuesday this week.

At the same time, parts of central Russia have seen temperatures of -40C.

It was, he said, the result of a “sudden” change in the jet stream – high altitude winds that circle the globe and have a major effect on the weather.

“When the sea ice retreated in the Arctic Ocean, in summer it led to much warmer air over the Arctic,” Professor Wadhams said.

“That reduced the temperature difference between the Arctic and the tropics and that caused the jet stream to slow down and adopt these big lobes.

Yeah, it makes me wonder if the climate is not like a rubber band that will someday "snap".

If you had a 99% chance of dying on the Interstate today would you plan your route carefully?

What's going on is a Chinese hoax. The next president of the US has said so, therefore it must be true.

You may now run shrieking into the abyss.
