when the thermometer drops - “It's bone-shakingly cold, how
could the Earth be warming?...<br>
When a dip in the polar vortex comes to our part of the world,
it’s usually the result of a change in pressure, which
disturbs the swirl, and can push the frosty Arctic air south,
according to Faye Barthold, a meteorologist with the National
Weather Service. And the Arctic jet stream (or polar vortex)
can sometimes dip far enough south that it allows the cold air
to travel down to places that do not normally have Arctic
conditions, like wherever you live...<br>
When there is this dip in the jet stream that brings cold to
the East, there’s usually a countervailing loop that takes
warm air into Alaska or the Arctic. In the last few years, a
frozen East has often coincided with a warm Alaska...<br>
But this phenomenon is not exclusive to North America — the
polar vortex can freeze Europe and Asia, too.</div>

<blockquote><font size="-1">In the face of the DOE questionnaire,
multiple climate denier cabinet nominees, and hints that Trump
plans to cut NASA earth sciences programs, scientists with
access to decades of government data on climate are taking steps
to protect it. The Washington Post reported Tuesday that the
scientific community is working furiously to archive federal
data on independent servers to preserve it from possibly being
tampered with by a science-hostile Trump administration.
Meanwhile, dozens of prominent scientists and activists rallied
outside of the American Geophysical Union conference in San
Francisco Tuesday, vowing to "stand up for science" over the
next four years. In her keynote address at AGU today, DOI
Secretary Sally Jewell will tell scientists “if you see science
being ignored or compromised, speak up,” <a

<font size="-1">- The average surface air temperature for the year

monthly record highs were recorded for January, February,
October and November 2016.</font><br>
<font size="-1">- After only modest changes from 2013-2015,
minimum sea ice extent at the end of summer 2016 tied with 2007
for the second lowest in the satellite record, which started in
1979.</font><br>
<font size="-1">- Spring snow cover extent in the North American
Arctic was the lowest in the satellite record, which started in
1967.</font><br>
<font size="-1">- In 37 years of Greenland ice sheet observations,
only one year had earlier onset of spring melting than 2016.</font><br>
<font size="-1">- The Arctic Ocean is especially prone to ocean
acidification, due to water temperatures that are colder than
those further south. The short Arctic food chain leaves Arctic
marine ecosystems vulnerable to ocean acidification events.</font><br>
<font size="-1">- Thawing permafrost releases carbon into the
atmosphere, whereas greening tundra absorbs atmospheric carbon.
Overall, tundra is presently releasing net carbon into the
atmosphere.</font><br>

Day in Climate History December 15, 2010 </a>- from D.R.
Tucker </b></font> <br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">December 15, 2010: Media Matters
reports on a leaked memo that reveals the Fox News Channel's
unfairness and imbalance with regard to climate science:</font><br>
<font size="-1">"In the midst of global climate change talks last
December, a top Fox News official sent an email questioning the
'veracity of climate change data' and ordering the network's
journalists to 'refrain from asserting that the planet has
warmed (or cooled) in any given period without IMMEDIATELY
pointing out that such theories are based upon data that critics
have called into question.'...</font><br>
<font size="-1">"The directive, sent by Fox News Washington
managing editor Bill Sammon, was issued less than 15 minutes
after Fox correspondent Wendell Goler accurately reported on-air
that the United Nations' World Meteorological Organization
announced that 2000-2009 was 'on track to be the warmest
[decade] on record.'..</font><br>
<font size="-1">"This latest revelation comes after Media Matters
uncovered an email sent by Sammon to Fox journalists at the peak
of the health care reform debate, ordering them to avoid using
the term 'public option' and instead use variations of
'government option.' That email echoed advice from a prominent
Republican pollster on how to help turn public opinion against
health care reform...</font><br>
<font size="-1">"Sources familiar with the situation in Fox's
Washington bureau have expressed concern about Sammon using his
position to 'slant' Fox's supposedly neutral news coverage to
the right." </font><font size="-1"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mediamatters.org/blog/2010/12/15/foxleaks-fox-boss-ordered-staff-to-cast-doubt-o/174317">http://mediamatters.org/blog/2010/12/15/foxleaks-fox-boss-ordered-staff-to-cast-doubt-o/174317</a>
