The Arctic

WaPo: Freak storm pushes North Pole 50 degrees above normal to melting point
As this storm churns north, it’s forcing warm air into the Arctic Circle. Over the North Sea, sustained winds from the south are blasting at 70 mph, and gusting to well above 100 mph, drawing heat from south to north.

El Nino + warming? Dr. Hansen's loaded dice. Past climate records and computer climate models show that we might be facing extremes of storminess in certain areas of the planet as we go forward through the transition to a new climate state.

As you and I know the Arctic is warming faster than other areas. When I see this article all I can think is why is this not on the front page of every major newspaper in huge bold over-sized letters. We are off to the races with global warming.
