The Arctic's indigenous people have a long relationship with its icy conditions, and face the loss of their cultural heritage. Further, there are numerous implications which go beyond the Arctic region. Sea ice loss not only enhances warming in the Arctic but also adds to global temperature increase through the ice-albedo feedback.
The most dramatic temperature changes occur in North American climates susceptible to Chinook winds. For example, the largest 2-minute temperature change of 49 °F (27.2 °C) occurred in Spearfish, South Dakota, a rise from −4 to 45 °F (−20.0 to 7.2 °C) [citation needed].
Recent warming has driven many terrestrial and freshwater species poleward and towards higher altitudes. [215] For instance, the range of hundreds of North American birds has shifted northward at an average rate of 1.5 km/year over the past 55 years. [216] Higher atmospheric CO 2 levels and an extended growing season have resulted in global ...
Much of the United States is shivering through brutal cold as most of the rest of the world is feeling unusually warm weather. Wind chills in parts of North Dakota reached minus 70 degrees (minus ...
The Arctic experienced the warmest summer on record this year, contributing to extraordinary wildfires and melting glaciers while threatening the rest of the world with problems including higher ...
A Sudden Stratospheric Warming miles above the North Pole (a natural event) with a warmed Arctic due to climate change piggy backing on that pattern = unstable PV & wavy extreme jet stream, with ...
The list of periods and events in climate history includes some notable climate events known to paleoclimatology. Knowledge of precise climatic events decreases as the record goes further back in time.
The Arctic ice cap is melting. That's just a fact. It's how to deal with this fact that is the real question. Fortunately, the U.S. Navy has a solution. Nuclear attack submarine USS Hampton ...
