The hottest hoax on record
by digby
I'm sure this is nothing to worry about:
“Crazy,” “weird,” and “wacky.” That’s how scientists are describing the temperature in the Arctic.
Over the weekend, the world’s northernmost weather station, located just 440 miles from the North Pole, warmed to 43 degrees Fahrenheit during what’s normally the coldest time of the year. That’s about 60 degrees above average for February. The rising temperatures, caused by a “warm air intrusion,” have left scientists in shock. Sea ice in region is also at its lowest levels on record.
“This is simply shocking. I don't have the words,” meteorologist Eric Holthaus tweeted.
Those Chinese hoaxters are very, very good at what they do.
I shouldn't be so flippant. This is an emergency. And we're just ... helpless as long as these f-ing morons are running the world.
These days I look at little kids and my chest gets tight with fear for them. It's terrifying.
