Arctic Posts Second Warmest Year On Record In 2018, NOAA Says (reuters.com)
According to a new report released on Tuesday by the U.S. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, the Arctic had its second-hottest year on record in 2018. "Arctic air temperatures for the past five years have exceeded all previous records since 1900," according to the annual NOAA study, the 2018 Arctic Report Card, which said the year was second only to 2016 in overall warmth in the region. Reuters reports: The study said the Arctic warming continues at about double the rate of the rest of the planet, and that the trend appears to be altering the shape and strength of the jet stream air current that influences weather in the Northern Hemisphere. "Growing atmospheric warmth in the Arctic results in a sluggish and unusually wavy jet-stream that coincided with abnormal weather events," it said, noting that the changing patterns have often brought unusually frigid temperatures to areas south of the Arctic Circle. Some examples are "a swarm of severe winter storms in the eastern United States in 2018, and the extreme cold outbreak in Europe in March 2018 known as 'the Beast from the East.'"
So not the hottest year. It has been hotter before, is what you're saying?

What the hell?
where does that leave us trans eurasicans? cease fire stand down.. never a better time to transform from doings to beings?
The Earth is billions of years old, so the period "on record" is laughably short - i.e. 0.000001% of the time that the Earth has existed. The Medieval Warm Period has been wiped from the global warming alarmists' record, so that they can keep telling us that the sky is falling in.

that's what's left of us without our conscious conscience relation to our universal spirit? like an empty shell echoing whatever the digital wind blows? no heart no spirit no life?

Since even the president of the US is convinced that global warming is a Chinese hoax, we have to be impressed by the way China is playing this game. The Chinese manage to really create ever warmer weather year after year, just to fool us into thinking global warming is real. They are truly brilliant.
I mean, that's such an obvious conspiracy theory troll. You're not even trying to make the fiction that you believe it sound real.

You're obviously an Einstein level savant for figuring that out for yourself so fast. I was wondering for a long time if "second hottest" meant there was ONE year that was hotter.
Penguins don't pay for shit though. Always want things free. Waiting until it really warms up so I can build cities, tract housing, whorehouses, and casinos. And prisons. Lots of prisons. Gotta put those republicans somewhere.
Did they change the meaning of extreme in the early 2010's? It seems everything is extreme now. What is it when it is -60C? mega-hyper-ultra cold?
Maybe, we should not socialize the losses of coastal properties via our National Flood Insurance program? For all the talk of climate change, I see homes swept away by hurricanes and then even bigger ones replace them in under two years. In my lifetime NJ beachfronts now look like a glass wall with massive homes built as close to the beach as possible.
If the government insures a property and it is lost to floodwaters - a condition of claim payment should be that the property becomes prohibited to future development. If private landowners and private insurers want to take on this risk - good for them.
Building these homes over and over again sticks the taxpayer with the disaster bill.
700-750 years ago Northern Europe stopped growing grapes to be fermented into wine and started growing grains and fermenting that into beer. Why? Because it became too cold to grow grapes. It is still too cold.
Events in the past caused us to evolve with a single-minded purpose to overpopulate. This is reflected in civilization and religion. The result of overpopulation is usual in lemmings but may cause consternation in humans, who have little expeience in managing this. The godless religion of political correctness can't recognise this, so the suicide cults win.
If all the warming is happening in the arctic then the solution is simple. We need to stop that criminal warm air coming into our country and taking all our cold. We need to build a wall.

He slept alone Tuesday night on a cot bolted to the floor of a cell he shares with no one. When his door was unlocked Wednesday morning, Cosby stepped into a TV room that was empty except for his guards. Several cells identical to his own lined the walls in this section of State Correctional Institution Phoenix, and every one of them was vacant. Cosby ate breakfast, lunch and dinner by himself. He walked the yard without company. Four times that day — at precisely 6:10 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m. and at 9 p.m. before lights out — a guard walked the unit to count the prisoners, and the count was always one.
Everybody knows that is best for skiing, toboggan, and snowballs. This warm Arctic, well...
Pity the US isn't and continues to not only be one of the worst, but getting even worse.
How was the stats changed this time around?
New statistical methods = new history.
What a crazy baseless conspiracy theory - you guys know that once the planet cools and you're selling 'man made global cooling', just like in the 1970's and 1980's, we'll be using articles like this to disprove that too!
The political position of 'I am going to save the world and you will pay for it' does not exactly resonate with voters.
When a politician chooses to advocate taxing his/her constituents more on a daily basis, one does not have to be a petroleum engineer to figure out that votes will not come gushing in for that politico.
Finally, if politicians were really serious about battling climate change with taxes, they would propose a climate change reparations surcharge tax on asset wealth. The 'asset wealthy' being not only individuals who own Teslas, but also foundations, endowments, religious institutions, and any other organization responsible for directly (or indirectly) using large amounts of fossil fuels.
A climate surcharge on the asset-rich, which would be unable to pass the surcharge taxes onto the masses via price increases. The asset-rich who will then deservedly become the elites' role models for saving the climate from their own doomsday scenarios.
Importantly, the mass of voters - conservative or progressive - would likely support that type of climate change tax in a heartbeat.
Being all doom and gloom about it doesn't help. IMHO Branson has the right idea when he offered $3 million for airconditioning that's 5x as energy efficient.
https://globalcoolingprize.org/prize-details/criteria/
i.e. the solution is a million little improvements not one magic one. Air-conditioning being a huge energy waster that could easily be improved. If you can make a fridge to turn a heat difference into cold, you can make an air conditioner that can, so you can make a solar (heat) driven air conditioning. It just needs the initial funding.
Have to love all that actual real information contained in the sensational piece. Not anywhere in the linked article does it state anywhere an actual recorded temperature. Only in the video does one mention of a temperature in Greenland although no date is given.
Interesting he didn't do a damn thing about what he claimed was the gravest problem facing the country and humanity. He was too busy with his genocides in the middle east and north africa.
No hope. No change.
The problem with "climate science" is that it's been corrupted before and twisted for money. It has also had too many false alarms ad incorrect models.
The fact is no human knows that answers or exact measurements.
Why not give up on the doomsday model and start asking people if they want to die of cancer or live in literally toxic environments.
Global warming is dead, move to a "clean environment, happy life" model instead.
After all, we all die and climate change over time is basically irrelevant.
When you conclude an annual study and post the results for "hottest year on record" at the start of winter.
This graph from the report is particularly scary: https://www.arctic.noaa.gov/Po...
Lemmings and sheeple, all following the Judas goat over the cliff.
Welll what else would you expect from millenials, such timid suck-ups afraid to step out of line.
People who only get paid if they raise alarm, raise alarm. News at 11.
So?
I don't respond to AC's.
It's sad to see Slashdot taken over by anti-science scumbags, posting as "Anonymous Cowards" and lying that Global Warming isn't happening even with evidence all over the place. And then there's the overwhelming support for GW in the scientific community. What do they know!
I have to admire the plucky band of billionaires, conspiracy nutbars and oil companies bravely fighting back against all that nasty, evil science. Of course, the downside is that their kids will line up to piss on their graves.
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
100 years of data, versus the AGE of the Earth in millions of years? Drop in the bucket. It's been warmer in the arctic and it's been colder. Shoot, in the 90's, the retreating ice sheet that Algore said was caused by man uncovered a long abandoned village. Now, if it was WARM enough to support a small village before the ice over ran it, then it wasn't the industrial revolution that caused it. Just more scare tactics by the globalist who want to control 100% of the human population.
See subject: Why are "snowflakes" so scared of "global warming"? They already MELT under the pressure of life & geting warmer the process ACCELERATES even more, lmao...

P.S.=> Probably true too, RoTfLmAo - imagine that: The OUTRIGHT MASS-EXTINCTION EVENT that's needed where "GLOBAL WARMING" (horseshit imo, a doubtless millenia long cyclical event e.g. like the ice age, a proven occurrence too) DOES US ALL A GIGANTIC FAVOR ridding of us of their pestilence... apk
100 years is not even a speck on a graph compared to the geologic age of the region. Isn't it ironic the global warming cultists can't explain no global temperature changes over the last 20 years so they are forced to throw out news stories like this as to make is sound alarming. This is terrible science and fear mongering to advance there agenda. This is not rooted in science but complete hyperbole.
Having lived in Alaska, I take this as good news. Cold is bad
technical whipping boy, Occam's Strop (think about it...)
Tony Heller is so spot on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j46mnIcz330&t=23s
10 years ago Al Gore assured us the Arctic would be ice free in 5 years. As long as the left wing gives air time to nut jobs like Al Gore, expect the right wing to scoff.
But, you say, you personally already scoff at Al Gore, and he's no longer given much air time? Sorry, the memory of his fame persists. Until the left wing stops with the hysterical predictions, the right wing won't take them seriously. So now it's the UN that says there's only 12 years left to cut fossil fuels, or it's TEOTWAWKI. 12 years from now when we're still muddling through, will they make a similar pronouncement?
Thank you for this important reminder, that the planet's climate can change — drastically and dramatically — with human involvement neither for nor against it.
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.

It's interesting that there was no large drop in sea ice extent or area this year to match the exceptional warming. The numbers came in around where the last few years have, and much higher than 2016 or 2012.

What he said was that when the WAIS and GIS melted (no timeframe), florida would be under several m of water.
Deniers just obey the bleats of their sheeplike masters, though, so don't care if it's BS. It sounds like what they want to hear, so they obey.
NOAA are liars too. Their science is a bunch of fake fabricated data to push the Rothschild banker syndicate "Man made global warming" agenda. The same exact thing as the IPCC. Except;
The IPCC are fake science junk data who are directly owned by the Rothchilds had the NOAA release this "science alert" since IPCC created the completely fake and fabricated their data into a Hockey Stick Graph
Enjoy your Hockey Stick graph slashdot, you stupid n i g g e r. You parrot repeating CNN loving cunts will eventually die.
So the last 120 years got warm. Tuff titty for those drowning PagoPago Islanders. Weather is a bitch. Same with warmist Trotsky-sluts. Choke on a tofu-puff snowflakes. Then, in a couple-a thousand years get back to me with a climate report. Next Ice-Age should be starting and mink-jackets in fashion. Until then ... wear a feckin-A condom when it rains.
You might not be aware but none of us care about your arbitrary definition of words. If the original statements were not clear to you, then ask for clarification to resolve ambiguity. Snide remarks and personal attacks doesn't make you look like the genius in this thread.
Not sure that he did, but: "In 2017, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) found that cities around the country experienced a record number of flooding events related to high tides, according to the National Climate Report. More than a quarter of coastal locations tied or set new records for the number of flooding days. And in 2018, flooding on the US coastline is expected to be 60% higher than it was just 20 years ago." - https://www.businessinsider.co...
We're aware arth1 "idiot savant" (lol) = "Run, Forrest: RUN!!!" vs. https://linux.slashdot.org/com... & why: SOLID PROOF & TECH REASONS why ANY linux distro (a modern KUbuntu 18.04 LTS proves you wrong) would be STUPID ENOUGH to do DNS before file (hosts) in nsswitch as you said.
