I guess the killer whales could not enter the Arctic when there was normal ice pack because they have such large dorsal fins. Other things that are happening in the Arctic is that trees are growing on the North Slope, salmon have started spawning in the large McKenzie River. All five species I believe.

The last I looked, and I can find the graph I think, the temperature in the Arctic was 12° above normal. A few weeks ago it was 33° in the Arctic Circle. Anchorage just broke a record of 36 days without snow and they don't know if there'll be enough for the Iditarod.

In Southeast Alaska, 2015 was the warmest and rainiest year on record. January broke the record again for heat and rain, and February is breaking the record again. There is no snow on the ground at all, the ground has thawed, and the temperature has been in the 40s most of the time in February. That is a solid 10° above normal.

The elk herds have moved up in Canada past Atlin, followed by the cougars. The deer have migrated as far north as Anchorage. Atlantic and Pacific cod are starting to move into the Arctic Ocean in large numbers. And of course the king crab that Russia planted a couple of decades ago and that also migrated to Norway have now made Norway the largest exporter of king crab surpassing Alaska.

The temperature in the Arctic and Alaska has been well above average for several years now. And we can sure see the effects of global warming up here. It is in our face.

Oh, and this is a trip, in the last five months both the northern and hemisphere have had the three strongest typhoons in the history of record-keeping. Two in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern hemisphere all three would've been categorized as category seven hurricanes, although the chart stops it category five. Fiji was one 185 mph of sustained winds, Patricia that hit Mexico had 205 miles ph and the one that hit the Philippines was 181 mph.

Last year was the hottest recorded, easily surpassing the mark set one year earlier.

Except when you use the lower atmosphere satellite measurements done via the University of Alabama (
http://vortex.nsstc.uah.edu/data/msu/t2lt/uahncdc_lt_5.6.txt
), no such records appear. And it's well documented how NOAA adjusts temperature readings (sometimes the adjustments are even justified per local conditions).

Fear mongering is alive and well. NOAA should issue monthly bulletins tracking how much the sky is falling.

They obviously didn't know there was a Little Ice Age and a Dalton and Maunder minimum after the medieval warming of nearly 1000 years ago.

When a lot of ice melts, as it did after the end of The Little Ice Age, it runs down hill due to gravity. At the bottom of the hills are what we call oceans. When water flow into those oceans, they get deeper, unless so much water is evaporating and being dumped as snow at the poles that they get shallower.

Also, as water gets warmer, it expands, unless it is close to 0 degrees Celsius in which case it shrinks. That's why ice floats. Over 4 degrees, water expands as it gets warmer. So with the end of the brrrrr temperatures of The Little Ice Age, the oceans got a tiny bit warmer and therefore expanded just a bit.

But Global Alarmists should be fearful, because lots of water is near 0 degrees, so as it heats, it will first shrink, causing sea level to fall, and then expand as it warms further, causing sea levels to rise. So Global Alarmists should warn that if sea levels rise, or fall, both are due to Global Warming. Same as if it snows, or doesn't, or rains, or doesn't, or is windy, or isn't, or is cloudy, or isn't - it's all due to Global Warming.

Meanwhile, to help alleviate fear of 10cm of sea level rise, or fall, you should get a graph of sea level over the last 15,000 years. Warning, it's so much [hundreds of metres] that after seeing it and wetting your pants, you won't be worried about 20cm of sea level rise in the 21st century.

Hint - don't worry about 20cm of sea level rise over 100 years. Be fearful of 100 metres of sea level rise in half a second due to a wave caused by a bolide. Or 10 metres due to an earth-quake. See Japan a few years ago for example.
