Over the years an average temperature there would be 40 Degrees BELOW Zero at this time of year. >>>>I don't consider that a small effect. You are making multiple errors. What was experienced at the North Pole was a weather event, as were the record lows in Denver this week. And He snow in a he Sahara. There is no evidence, nor is there any credible suggestion, that it has anything at all to do with global warming. Climate is an average over a number of decades. And the average has increased by 0.8 C over The last 150 years. Not even 1 degree increase. And a lot of that increase is a result of sampling and measurement error. (In fact, it has been estimated that 80-90% of the 0.8C is measurement inconsistency due to the Heat island effect and other significant anomalies).. These incidents don't really mean much unless there are enough of them to move the mean without NASA making adjustments to make the data relevant.
