NOAA Arctic Report Card 2008:
"Autumn temperatures are at a record 5º C above normal, due to the
major loss of sea ice in recent years which allows more solar heating
of the ocean. Winter and springtime temperatures remain relatively
warm over the entire Arctic, in contrast to the 20th century and
consistent with an emerging global warming influence.
The year 2007 was the warmest on record for the Arctic, continuing a
general, Arctic-wide warming trend that began in the mid-1960s (Fig.
A1)."
"In general, the Arctic Ocean continued to warm and freshen in 2007
under the influence of unusual atmospheric forcing and continued
dramatic sea ice melt. These changes were accompanied by an
unprecedented rate of sea level rise."
"Warming has continued around Greenland in 2007, culminating in record
setting (since 1970s) melt area and amplified absorption of solar
radiation. Greenland>s largest glacier, among a majority of others,
continued its retreat. The ice sheet lost at least 100 cubic km (24
cubic miles) of ice, making it one of the largest single contributors
to global sea level rise."

Just as they did in the 1930>s!!
Ho hum, what else is new comrade?
ALSO: the south pole is COOLING!
Reality Check On Arctic Temperatures
We need a reality check on the NOAA>s blatant spin-doctoring of Arctic
temperatures.
'This is pseudoscience' German scientist Ernst-Georg Beck, a biologist
Rebuts Arctic Reports
October 17 2008
Excerpt: The annual report issued by researchers at the U.S. National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other experts is the latest
to paint a dire picture of the impact of climate change in the Arctic.
[...]
The real averaged temperatures of the whole Arctic circle (70-90 N) can
be found in the same data base used by NOAA (CRU, Phil Jones): The graph
shows a strong Arctic warming during 1918 and 1960, stronger than today
with a rise of about + 4°C up to 1938.
Referencing only a rise since 1960 we got the illusion of a dramatic
rise in modern times.
Conclusion: The news item:" Arctic air temperatures climb to record
levels" is selective science and wrong because the Arctic Ocean (
covering an area of more than 50% of the Arctic circle) has been left
unconsidered.
The NOAA study summarizes: "5°C record levels in temperature in autumn",
presents the averaged temperatures only on land stations and discusses
melting sea ice as a cause!
This is pseudoscience.
In contrast the current Arctic warming mimics the 1920s-1940s event, as
a recent study from the Ohio State University reveals.
The scientists recognized from using weather station records, maps and
photos from the past century that temperatures in Greenland had warmed
in the 1920s at rates equivalent to the recent past.
