re "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."

Nope, Alaska's North Slope is a relatively dry area so it has few if any glaciers.

re "Big trees blow over with shallow roots."

We do have lots of blow downs around here in my part of Alaska, where the tree roots are shallow due to low soil temperatures (not permafrost)...
