No Winter For the Arctic in 2016

NASA Marks Hottest January Ever Recorded

The Scientists are floored and we should be too. The global heat and especially the extremely high temperature departures we’ve seen in the Arctic over the past month are flat-out unprecedented. It’s freakish-strange. And what it looks like, to this particular observer, is that the seasonality of our world is changing. What we’re witnessing, at this time — it looks like the beginning of the end for Winter as we know it.

Hottest January on Record — But the Arctic is Just Outlandish

Anyone who observes the Arctic — from scientists, to environmentalists, to emerging threats specialists, to weather and climate enthusiasts, to just regular people unsettled by the rapidly unraveling state of our global climate system — should be very, very concerned. The human greenhouse gas emission — now pushing CO2 levels to above 405 parts per million and adding in a host of additional heat trapping gasses — appears to be rapidly forcing our world to warm. To warm most swiftly in one of the absolute worst places imaginable — the Arctic.

There are times when I think that squabbling over which candidate to back is just polishing the doorknobs on the Hindenburg. It's a diversion to distract us from the simple fact that we are all facing imminent catastrophic ecosystem failure. There's no surviving that, no matter who is in the White House.

1. Agree about the DU squabbling. It's like the line from "War and Peace:" "10,000 of them to die...

...and they wonder at my hat."

We are simply "wondering at hats" here, in the end....
