The Guardian says the Arctic is warming seven times faster than the rest of the planet.

“New data has revealed extraordinary rates of global heating in the Arctic, up to seven times faster than the global average.”

In Some Places Seals Are Finding Waters Too Hot, Says Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—The Arc‘tie ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarce and in some places the seals are finding the waters too hot, according to a report to the commerce department today from Consul Iffi, at Bergen Norway. .

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climatic conditions and hitherto unheard of temperatures in the Artic zone, exploration expeditions reporting that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes: .

The rise of 22 deg. in the average temperature of Spitsbergen has not occurred at the expense of the Australian climate,  according to Sir Douglas Mawson

“LONDON, Feb. 18. 1925 —The latest investigations confirm the theory that the arctic climate has changed considerably in recent years. The temperature of the Gulf Stream, which in. 1925, was higher than fn the previous year, shows: an average increase of from four to five degrees centigrade since 1900 when it was first measured by the explorer Nansen.

“FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1939

Scientists have confirmed the fact that the Arctic regions around Spitzbergen are warming up at the rate of approximately one degree every two years.

Since 1910. when observations first started in those regions, the cumulative rise of winter temperature has amounted to nearly 16 degrees”

“If the Antarctic ice regions and the major Greenland icecap should re-duce at the rate of the present melting, he said, the oceanic surfaces would rise to catastrophic proportions. People living in the lowlands along the shores would be inundated. Temperatures in the Arctic had increased 10deg Fahrenheit since 1900, an “enormous” rise from the scientific standpoint.”

“Since 1910, for instance, the mean winter temperature in Spitzbergen is up 14 degrees F. “If this goes on,” Mr. Murphy points out, “the Arctic Ocean will be open the year round” before the close of the twentieth century.”

“Scientists say methane emissions, as well as other greenhouse gases, must be cut to limit the average rise of global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius — a threshold for avoiding the worst impacts of climate change. Much of that methane comes from agriculture.

Data compiled by Climate Watch, a platform managed by the World Resources Institute, indicate an estimated 17 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions consist of methane. Around 40 percent of human-made methane emissions come from agriculture.”
