Average air temperatures in the Arctic were more than 3 degrees Fahrenheit above normal in 2019, US scientists say. It's the second-hottest year on record since 1900.

The Arctic's snow and ice are the planet's air-conditioner, reflecting the sun's energy back into space and keeping temperatures around the North Pole cool.

But a new report shows there are signs that this critical cooling system may be breaking down, and the impacts of what is happening in the Arctic are being felt by people and ecosystems far beyond.In 2019, average air temperatures in the Arctic were 1.9 degrees Celsius above normal, the second-hottest recorded since 1900, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's annual Arctic Report Card, published Tuesday.

Good

🤔

Despite all the changes we have made? It’s almost as if the Earth has a mind of its own!

so what caused it in the 1900 you just proved your on point wrong.

People would be better off believing in God and not worrying about something they can do nothing about. God will take care of the end of the world. Do your best on pollution but it won't stop weather.

We can all agree that pollution is bad and less of it is good. The climate debate is just a distraction. Let's pollute less and embrace policies that better our environment.

But what do the Arctic scientists say?

Oh good

Bullshit!

But 2019 isn't over. How can you calculate an average with a incomplete data set?

What year was the hottest?

🙏🏼😔🙏🏼😢🙏🏼

It’s all bullshit it’s all a scam

lolololololololol

So why was it so hot in 1900? Were SUVs really big back then?

Weather Been happening for 4.9

OMG, so your telling me the temps change interesting!!

CLIMATE CHANGE IS HOAX PERPETUATED BY THE CHINESE!

Actually, it's one of the coldest days in the past 1,000 years.

Yup, been happening for 4 Billion years

So it’s happened before and the world didn’t end

Shelter in place

Climatic people control.

Al Gore 2.0

Take a guess worlds 2 biggest polluters?

Wow global warming started in 1900. This is a BOMBSHELL REPORT!!!!

And yet the Obama’s just bought a multi million dollar home on the water. 🤷‍♀️

Hopefully no more volcanic eruptions! How can we relieve the pressure from the continental plates colliding?

What was the first hottest year since 1900 ?

Yet the ice grew.....

And look back over the last 600M years, more often than not the poles have been ice free, right lads, get it back to normal.

The great lakes were formed 14,000 years ago after the glaciers melted. How did that happen? Global warming 14,000 ago?

Clearly they never been to North Carolina
