The places where the average ground temperature has risen rapidly are probably places at the edge of snow cover.

At the tip of a glacier for example the average is 0 degrees Celsius under the tip of the glacier. If the glacier recedes a metre or two then the average will zoom to somewhere between 0 and the summer snow-free baking 30 degrees. Wow an increase in average temperature at that point of 15 degrees in 1 year.

The heat that is supposed to be in the troposphere but isn't didn't just sneak off somewhere such as under the ocean or into the permafrost. That's not how heat flow works.

The CO2 molecules in the troposphere are supposed to absorb heat which would raise the temperature of water, nitrogen and oxygen in air by contact.

The detection of that heating is by thermometer. If the air does not get warmer it means the CO2 is not doing what the theory said and the air had not heated.

If heating had not happened in the air then the heat thatdidn't happen can't go somewhere else by convection or radiation.

Something has to exist before it can go somewhere else such as into permafrost, oceans, high altitude and space.

The Greenhouse Effect theory is that photons from heated ground are absorbed by CO2 instead of going straight out to space.

That's supposed to heat the air. But that hasn't been happening as predicted. There are also supposed to be feedback loops to cause even more heating such as water evaporation, methane escape to air, rocks and ocean being exposed to absorb sunlight instead of reflecting it as happens when snow is there instead of bare ground.

Big trees blow over with shallow roots. I guess in shallow active layers the trees are smaller.

Meanwhile, with 2020 foresight I predicted in 2007 cold northern winters for last winter and the next and onwards.

It was cold and snowy last winter and the one before too. The next one should be cooler. Not long to wait now.

Enjoy the warmer Arctic while it lasts. A return of Little Ice Age or worse will be unpleasant.
