Greenland is having their second highest ratio of record minimums to record maximums this year. The only year which beat it was 1992, which was cooled by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo
Temperatures in the capital of Greenland are plummeting, and are coldest in 20 years.
For the whole country, temperatures peaked before 1940, and have never been matched again.
This matches newspaper reports from the time
Gavin says it is the hottest year ever. I think he is lying.
But Greenland is just a small portion of the Earth’s surface…
So is the Artic …
ARCTIC … damn!
Good stuff Steven, keep us posted. NH fall/winter heading in the opposite direction of CAGW. What happened to warmer, milder NH winters?
There are adequate temp records to show this phenomenon was not merely the CONUS, but all of North America. So, if you add Greenland, the area is far larger, and this still isn’t the end of the story. Below is a mention of a previous all time high in Finland in 1934. And I’ve seen similar records for Moscow. While Moscow had a heat wave a few years ago, it also had one in 1936, along with many other continents.

uh, looks like they got a lot of them here….
It looks like another poor grazing year in Greenland again, gosh darn it been that way now for over 500 years. Funny even on the warmest year every somehow we are not able to graze Greenland like the Viking did a little over 500 years ago. Funny for living in the warmest time ever we still cannot do what vikings did from year 1000 to about year 1500. Yet remember we are all going to die from the heat after all this year will be the warmest ever!
For every ying with the climtate, there is a yang.
