Scientists say unusually mild temperatures linked to low-pressure system over Iceland directing strong flow of warm air towards north pole

Summary

The North Pole experienced an extreme warming event, with temperatures soaring more than 20°C above average, nearing 0°C—the melting point of ice.

Scientists attribute this anomaly to a low-pressure system over Iceland directing warm air northward, amplified by unusually warm Atlantic waters.

The Arctic is warming nearly four times faster than the global average, accelerating sea ice loss.

Experts predict Arctic summer sea ice could vanish within two decades.

    It’s not seeing it for them. They think that because earth has ice ages that this is just a “cycle”. They seriously believe that even though you can physically see global temps data since the 1800s and it SKYROCKETS in the 1920s and almkst triples year over. Like… It’s fucking obvious this isn’t a “natural cycle”.

    The worst argument these idiots spew is: “yeah… it’s climate change… The climate changes, it’s not serious” like what!? The fuck!?

    The worlds hope is on Asia and Europe’s hand. Trump once again just wants to dig for oil and gas on US soil because he’s too fucking removed to read a book once.
