RE: TIL: It's Currently 20°C Hotter In The North Pole Than It Should Be

"Hot and moist air masses in combination with the thin ice over the sea were the main factors. The so-called Jetstream also plays a very important role in this"

"It's a vicious cycle, and humans desperately need to fight it."

If it's caused by a jetstream and a certain type of air, what should humans be doing to fight it?

    everything comes down to human behaviour - the jet stream itself is being influenced by climate change. http://www.climatecentral.org/gallery/graphics/climate-change-the-jet-stream

      Gotcha, didn't realize the idea was that human behavior was influencing that stuff. I'm skeptical :) but that certainly answers my question.

      And when I say I'm skeptical I don't mean that I think it's wrong. Just that it's my default when I haven't, like, looked into something thoroughly and independently confirmed the ideas and a lot of money influences the way scientists could be motivated to report it to us.

      Thanks for answering.
