FAIRBANKS, ALASKA — Frigid cold in Interior Alaska is taking a toll on North Pole’s Christmas in Ice event.

Temperatures of 40 below zero are hampering artists trying to craft their ice masterpieces. They are having to deal with broken tools and snapped electrical cords. Even some of the exhibits are reacting negatively to the cold.

NCDC has turned a cooling trend in Louisiana into a warming trend, through the magic of cooling the past and warming the present.

NCDC tells us that Arizona has warmed three degrees since 1950. They accomplished this by adjusting the data upwards and by adding new stations.

The blink comparator above switches between NCDC Arizona temperatures and GHCN HCN Arizona temperatures for all stations which have been active since at least 1920. Note that they cooled 1958 by more than three degrees, and added more than one degree on to 2008.

Very impressive work by the Ministry Of Truth

Just another day in the Obamabananarepublic.

Hansen tells us now that things are worse than he feared.

The year 2000 was very eventful. The world collapsed due to the Y2K bug, snow became a thing of the past, and the North Pole melted for the first time in 50 million years.

The North Pole is melting.

The thick ice that has for ages covered the Arctic Ocean at the pole has turned to water, recent visitors there reported yesterday. At least for the time being, an ice-free patch of ocean about a mile wide has opened at the very top of the world, something that has presumably never before been seen by humans and is more evidence that global warming may be real and already affecting climate.

The last time scientists can be certain the pole was awash in water was more than 50 million years ago.

‘Frightening’ projection for Arctic melt

The Arctic Ocean could be free of ice in the summer as soon as 2010 or 2015 – something that hasn’t happened for more than a million years, according to a leading polar researcher.

According to these models, there will be no sea ice left in the summer in the Arctic Ocean somewhere between 2010 and 2015.  “And it’s probably going to happen even faster than that,” said Fortier, who leads an international team of researchers in the Arctic looking for clues to climate change.
