also, the earth has been hotter before than it is today, and for a lot longer. how on earth did everything not get destroyed back then? omgz!

I suppose whats happening in the arctic is a normal pattern. The north atlantic water that flows into the arctic has risen 3.5 degree F in the last 10 years. the whole eco system is changing before our eyes.
Is Greenland's massive ice sheet supposed to melt 10 fold in the last 5 years? for the first time in recorded history scientists have found subtropical water underneath that ice. 5 years ago scientists predicted Greenlands melting would raise the ocean 20 inches in 1000 years, this May that prediction went from 1000 years to less then 100 years. Maybe by this May it'll be 10 years.
Since your in the know about air temps, how about give us a breakdown on global temperatures. For instance theres a country in Africa that the average temperature actually 4 degrees cooler now than 30 years ago, they blame it on the demise of Lake Chad(once a top 10 largest lake in the world..now a pond), other countrys in Africa are starting a cooling trend due to lakes shrinking, Lake Victoria has lost 5 feet of water in 4 years.
When I was kid where I grew up we had snow on the ground for 3-4 months a year,almost never left, nowdays it's getting close for the need of a lawnmover.
Maybe it's a global "shift" in temperatures? either way it's very bad.
