It has trends for the past 40 years
> It is well known that the poles warm faster as a result of climate change. For example, the average increase in temperature on Earth over the past 40 years is 1.44°F. In comparison, the Arctic has warmed by more than 3.5°F during the same period, more than double the global average.
- ImaCake 6y agoI wonder if there is some connection between variance in temperature extremes and average warming? I feel it could either be due to the same underlying cause or because larger variance will mean the average warming will appear larger. I suspect the former (i.e. it really is warming faster in the poles). I guess one could think of Siberia as a canary in the coal mine for global warming. Not that we should need one.
