   The following graphs, from an article of Joe D’Aleo of 2010, show the high increase in Arctic temperatures in the 1930’s and 40’s,

   with a maximum variation of approx. +4 C from the early 1900’s to the highest temps in the 1930’s. We have, 4C ~ 1.8 * 4 F = 7.2 F , which is reasonably close to the estimate of 10 F in the paper.
   Joe D’Aleo’s paper is this:

   Hansen can change some graphs of governmental agencies but cannot change the known fact that the period of the WWII is called “the warm years” in the Arctic for a good reason,

   At those years the Arctic icecap may have had strong oscillations as happened in the last few years, but there was also a strong recovery just after the war, related to a strong plunge of the PDO into negative phase at that time. Now we can reasonably expect a similar recovery when the AMO and PDO become both negative in the next few years.
