Last year, temperatures were not as cold as they usually are near the North Pole. This was blamed on CO2 trapping heat.

This year, temperatures are very cold near the North Pole. Apparently CO2 is getting lazy with its heat trapping capabilities.

CO2 appears to be a very fickle gas.
January 21 afternoon temperatures have dropped several degrees in the US since the 19th century, as has the likelihood of warm weather on this date.
On January 21, 1906, almost half of USHCN stations were over 60 degrees, and one out five were over 70 degrees.
There were 70 degree temperatures in many locations in New York, and 60 degree temperatures in New Hampshire.
Temperatures on this date in 1906 were 50-60 degrees warmer than this year.

Temperatures were also very warm on this date in 1909, with the average maximum being 54 degrees.
Carbon dioxide seems to be having difficulty trapping heat as its concentration increases. It was 80 degrees in Boston on January 22, 1906, about 70 degrees warmer than today.

January 1896 was much hotter at Bourke, NSW than this year’s “record” heat. No surprise that BOM hides pre-1910 data.
January 1-19, 1896 averaged 2C hotter than this year at Bourke, NSW.
The number of 100F (38C) days at Bourke plummeted from 1880 until the station shut down in 1996.
