vmax Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 This gives information on how this affects us here in the USA.... Temperatures around the North Pole will almost certainly pass the melting point, 32 degrees Fahrenheit, in the days leading up to Christmas, as global warming wreaks havoc on some of the world’s coldest and iciest climates, scientists say......for people living farther down in the Northern Hemisphere who are unknowingly experiencing the ripple effects of Arctic warming.“They assume the Arctic is far away, and they assume, ‘What impact could this have on us?’” Mayewski said.But Arctic warming is directly tied to extreme weather in the Northern Hemisphere, he explained. With the barrier between the cold north and warm south weakening, cold air masses are more easily moving south and warm air masses are more easily moving north, fueling the changes in surface ocean currents that can exacerbate extreme weather events. In addition, as sea ice transforms into open water, that open water absorbs more heat, a cycle of warming that increasing moisture levels and raises the odds of events like floods and droughts throughout the hemisphere....The Arctic’s climate system has followed largely linear patterns until now. “While none of the global climate models predicted we’d have an Arctic warming so fast, it no less happened. The models are based on input from the last few decades. We’re experiencing something which is a surprise, a quick change in the climate system,” he said, citing the rapid release of greenhouse gases and the hole in the ozone as accelerating factors.As the Arctic continues to warm, it will release dangerous amounts of the greenhouse gas methane, which absorbs the sun’s heat and further warms the atmosphere. In the first two decades after its release, methane is 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide, according to the Environmental Defense Fund.....http://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/north-pole-warms-near-melting-point-this-christmas-week/ar-BBxsKNl?li=BBnb7Kz The scary part is this is not linear change. It's exponential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 So it is 60 right now. The average high according to weather underground is 43. It is not close to cold around here right now. About 3 weeks ago it was really cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
