In reply to the discussion: North Pole Now a Lake [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)56. The Jet Stream is ALREADY behaving strangely.
I live in Central Arkansas.
This year, we have enjoyed Record Breaking:
*Snow in May (first time EVER)
*Record LOW temps in July
*Last week, we had a pattern of Storms and Squall Lines moving from EAST to WEST.
(This is sooooooo uncommon, that we had to research whether it is possible to have a tornado track from East to West.
It IS, but VERY rare.)
*and we're getting RAIN almost every day
(very uncommon for this area in Mid-Summer)
While we are enjoying sleeping without A/C in JULY!!!!,
and our Veggie Garden is LOVING it,
these patterns are scary.

I'm waiting for some jerk to claim the North Pole has ALWAYS melted like this.

Uh, I would like to know why that photo is indicating red dots (a ~60% concentration of sea ice)

Don't worry. Gawd has this. It's 11-Dimensional, environmental rope-a-dope. Just wait. You'll see...
