Forecaster: Summer so far at record cold levels
Can anyone please share some global warming with me?
Summer So Far at Record Cold Levels
The worst part of this cold weather is that I have to keep the furnace turned on to keep out the chill!

20.2 - 1981 - 1990
32 - 1991 - 2000
54.5 - 2001 - 2010
but Alaska is cold.

I would happily give you some of our 100 degree weather if I could.

No, the permafrost is continuing to melt. Also, shrubs and small bushes are beginning to intrude into the southern parts of tundra.

As can be seen by the sea surface temperature anomalies:
[Link: www.ncdc.noaa.gov...]
the north-east Pacific is the one region of the oceans with temps significantly below long term averages. This is a manifestation of what is sometimes called the Pacific multi-decadal oscillation, which might not really be an "oscillation" but rather a transient phenomenon.
