Astonishing Warmth in Northern Alaska Continues Even the most primitive climate models back in the 1980's predicted that the warming associated with increasing greenhouse gases would be most prolific in the Arctic, which is precisely what has happened. The graph below shows the average temperature at Barrow for the period January 1-December 1 dating back to 1933. In 1940, the average temp for that period of time was 15.9ºF. It took 58 years to break that record, and in 1998 the record was indeed shattered with an average temp of 18.8ºF. It didn't take nearly that long to break the record again. In 2016, just 18 years later, Barrow recorded 20.6ºF. Now, it has taken only 3 years to shatter that record with a temperature of 22.9ºF in 2019 YTD. In summary, the climate in Barrow was fairly stable through much of the 20th century, but they are now a full 7ºF warmer than a record that stood from 1940 until 1998. There is no other word for that than acceleration. As a result, the current amount of arctic sea ice is at an all-time record low for this date, and is well below the long term average as you can clearly see in the second graph. Science isn't political, nor is data. It's right there for everyone to see.
