Arctic ice is growing? Whatever are you talking about? The Sea Ice anomaly is down to -1.168 as of 6July15.And yet the Arctic ice is growing man that doesn't seem to be consistent my friendDid you read to the bottom of your article? Did you read what I suppose are experts had to say?
So what is causing the Alaskan heat wave?
The jet stream, a band of air current high above the globe, has been behaving oddly, meteorologists say. The stream usually goes from west to east along a generally straight path. In the past few years it's been moving erratically, swinging from side to side, leading to fluctuating, extreme weather.
The polar jet stream, which hovers over Alaska, Canada, and the U.S., "has everything to do with the weather we experience," Rutgers University climate scientist Jennifer Francis told The Huffington Post.
In addition to the Alaska heat wave, extreme weather events like Hurricane Sandy and major snowstorms have all been blamed on the unusual jet stream.
"I've been doing meteorology for 30 years and the jet stream the last three years has done stuff I've never seen," said Jeff Masters, meteorology director at Weather Underground. "The fact that the jet stream is unusual could be an indicator of something. I'm not saying we know what it is."
Not a mention of global warming.
LOLOLOL......if you're that confused, perhaps you should read this article by Dr. Jennifer Francis in which she draws a clear connection between the global warming driven loss of Arctic ice and the recent disruptions to the path and behavior of the jet stream.

Mr. Freewill, are you actively working for the title of really dumb ass? Here is what it said, in nice clear English;Really?And 90 in Seattle and Fairbanks, warmer. It is the overall average that counts, not what is in your or my backyard.
As usual data must be provided. According to this site it is 77 in Fairbanks and the record set in 2008 is 78, close but not a record. The max temperature for the 6th was set in 2014, 86 deg. 84 for the 5th. With the mean temperature for Fairbands at this time is 72, so a deviation is not that hard to believe. the 4th's record is 90 degress set in 1990.

Alaska Heat Wave 90-Degree Temperatures Break Weather Records - International Science Times
By iScienceTimes Staff on June 26, 2013 12:14 PM EDT
A heat wave in Alaska has brought temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, an extremely rare occurrence in the state. The heat wave has been blamed for wildfires throughout the state. (Photo: Reuters)
The Alaska heat wave has caused the Land of the Midnight Sun to bask in 80 degree temperatures, 20 degrees Fahrenheit above normal temperatures.
The heat wave in Alaska, which is expected to last through the weekend, robbed the state of a normal spring.

"It was an incredibly rapid transition," Michael Lawson, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service, told NBC. "Literally, our spring was about five days before we jumped into summer-type weather."
Temperatures have recently gone above 90 degrees, an extremely rare occurrence in Alaska. Fairbanks has only reached temperatures of 90 or above 14 times in the last 109 years. Alaska reached a record-breaking 96 degrees on Tuesday in the town of Talkeetna, about 100 miles north of Anchorage.
Aside from the fun aspect of the heat wave -- Alaskans have been flocking to lakes and beaches -- the heat wave is being blamed for wildfires. The heat wave has caused brush to become very dry, which can catch fire when lightning strikes. Near Fairbanks, more than 70 firefighters are currently battling a wildfire that started in this manner, and there are 80 fires burning around Alaska. The National Weather Service has issued warnings for a large swath in and around Fairbanks.
Record breaking heat wave in the England too.
Neither of the cities you mention broke a record as I showed you.
Never the less are you now arguing weather to make the case for GW?

JustCrazy is following the denier cult pattern and adhering to their dogmas, otherwise they'd throw him out of their little 'tribe' of anti-science rightwingnut retards....
Lordy, lordy, always have to prove how ridiculous you can be, don't you, Mr. jc? Note that the graph line is not a nice smooth one, many ups and downs. But the trend for the last 40 years is down, and will continue to be with the normal variations.It's funny the increase this year higher than 2009. That's not decreasing is it?Oh my, grew over one and one quarter million square kilometers, didn't it. From about 2 and one quarter million square kilometers in 2012, to a whole three and one half square kilometers in 2013. Of course, from 1979 to 1989, it was mostly over 5 million square kilometers, and since 2007, it has been mostly below 3 and one half square kilometers, down to two and one quarter kilometers in 2012.

In the meantime there has also been and even greater diminishment of the volume of sea ice;
Fig.1 Arctic sea ice volume anomaly from PIOMAS updated once a month. Daily Sea Ice volume anomalies for each day are computed relative to the 1979 to 2014 average for that day of the year. Tickmarks on time axis refer to 1st day of year. The trend for the period 1979- present is shown in blue. Shaded areas show one and two standard deviations from the trend. Error bars indicate the uncertainty of the monthly anomaly plotted once per year.

Mr. BullKurtz, instead of mindlessly repeating the flapyap of 'Conservatives', perhaps you should do a little research for yourself. If you are not to lazy to do so.

Do you have any idea how completely insane you sound? Where did that total non-sequitur come from anyway? Certainly nothing in the article you cited.Damn, did man discover fire 4000 years ago?
Wacky Winter Weather of 2014 Caused by 4,000-Year-Old Jet Stream
Wacky Winter Weather of 2014 Caused by 4 000-Year-Old Jet Stream - Scientific American
A new study has found that the wavy jet stream pattern that tends to bring warm winter weather to the U.S. West and cold weather to the East was set in place 4,000 years ago.
The research, published in the journal Nature Communications, also suggests that climate change may help keep the wavy pattern in place.
"It's possible the kinds of changes we are seeing with increased jet stream sinuosity might continue into the future as a result of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, although it's not a perfect comparison," said Gabriel Bowen, a geochemist at the University of Utah and an author on the study.
When the jet stream is very wavy, it tends to bring warm air up from the tropics into the U.S. West. It then kinks up toward the Arctic and brings cold air down to the Great Plains and the East, Bowen said.
Some researchers have suggested that climate change, which has resulted in a rapidly warming Arctic, is leading to jet stream kinks that keep extreme weather in place, although that hypothesis is still being debated (ClimateWire, April 3).

Not recent warming but 4000 years ago.....Comprende?
The response is going to be that the US is not the world, only a small part. But consider what would be said if things were reversed. If the data shown indicated that the US was warming and the rest of the world was cooling. Those who seem to think we can do something about the climate would be saying that the US has the best equipment thus we have to believe the US data. Well I agree.
Go here to see the actual NOAA data:
National Temperature Index National Centers for Environmental Information NCEI
From the linked article:
Data from America’s most advanced climate monitoring system shows the U.S. has undergone a cooling trend over the last decade, despite recent claims by government scientists that warming has accelerated worldwide during that time.
The U.S. Climate Reference Network was developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to provide “high-quality” climate data. The network consists of 114 stations across the U.S. in areas NOAA expects no development for the next 50 to 100 years.

1.2 Gw of solar going in in Austin at less than 4 cents a kw. Wind now down below 4 cents a kw. Dirty coal, no scrubbers, still 6.6 cents a kw, and the price is rising. For wind and solar, the price will continue to decline. Coal is dead.
OK. So you're too stupid to understand what you read.....and so extremely retarded that you actually post science tidbits that don't at all say what you ignorantly imagine they say. Got it.

In theory, according to historical data, we should be going through a cooling period, quite a dramatic cooling period at that. What seems to be happening is that natural cooling is fighting with man made warming and they're almost balancing each other out. The US appears to be getting a little cooler, at least the eastern side. The rest of the world is getting a little warmer.
That is not at all what it said, Freewill. It stated that they hypothesize that a warmer arctic creates a lessor temperature gradient. And that creates a wavier jet stream. And there seem to be 4000 year cycles for this happening naturally. What I didn't not see was a claim that we are in a period when the waviness is at a natural high. But if we are, and we are causing the Arctic to warm even faster than the norm, then we are not doing ourselves any favors.

Not enough rain. Too much use.
