Many places in interior and northern Alaska are about 5 degrees Fahrenheit warmer in their winters than 30 years ago.


Half an hour ago I was listening to some guy talking about climate change and he said something about Alaska. He sounded pretty scientific and was painting a pretty grim picture. Then for whatever reason he started talking about how Nostradamas predicted the Challenger space shuttle disaster. I then realized I was listening to the George Noory show on KIRO.

It's the other way around; peoples who are not worried should learn more about it.

Isn't it the ones who are worried about it that need to know all about it, in order to persuade the skeptics?

Reconstructions of past climate fluctuations show the climate changes (both way) affect mid-latitudes the most. Tropical regions don't change much, local changes mostly due to shifts in ocean currents can be present; changes in polar regions are mostly about size of ice sheets. Once the ice sheets melt, polar regions will be as affected as mid-latitudes.

Studying past thermal maxima gives us quite an insight into what to expect.
