The polar regions are the Canaries in the coal mines as they will be the first regions to show dramatic changes because of a human induced climate change. On the other hand, after normal thermal lag, they will also be the locations to watch for natural changes in long term weather patterns. We just do not have an accurate enough historical record of the regions. The Southern Hemisphere, with the majority of the oceans is the area to watch because the Northern Hemisphere appears to follow the path set by the south during the last few Glacial / Interglacial cycles and probably longer. Just not well researched or recorded. There are to many biased researchers looking to justify their positions by fitting into the mainstream consensus.
Poor Jim would have to sell all his pink crayons if he used the DMI’s data.
Steve apparently does not agree with what the red/pink crayons are showing.

There are ‘normals’ in climate, just averages over time.
