Alaska in desperate need, of air conditioners and sunscreen...

I hate these kind of stories, where they hype the record breaking heat wave, but they don't mention the previous record, or when. Really, ruins a good story, when I have to go looking for the full story. Damn liberal news media...

Anyway, global warming in Alaska reach 90 Fn degrees, but apparently it's not too uncommon, since there are some people with air conditioners. Probably only get's hot a few days here and there during the summer, not usually worth the price, or wasted storage space. Growing up in Oregon, we never actually broke 90 degrees F, almost made it to 90 one summer, but just came close, few days later, it was back down to low 80's. It did feel hot, but didn't keep us indoors, or really change much of anything. We didn't have Air conditioning either.

Wow, and just think last month they had a foot of snow. Wonder why my house hasn't flooded yet, from the rising seas, after all that ice and snow melted, at an alarming rate. Maybe it takes more than a month for pacific water to make it over to the atlantic side.

Global Warming dried it all up.

Yeah, it's that whole desert wetlands thing. Death Valley would otherwise be buried in ice like Greenland if it weren't where all the excess Global Warming heat pollution is hiding. All the melted ice dried up a while back.

From what I remember, litesong's posts weren't exactly intelligible. Have my posts become that bad?

The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP), now under development, which will monitor and assess background pollution of all major arctic environments, and includes systematic observations of CO2 and other radiatively active gases

the reduction of nitrogen use and N2O emissions from agriculture is already a present-day concern due to unsustainable levels of nitrogen pollution (Bodirsky et al., 2012).

suggestions have been proposed that target the warming agents only (referred to as short-lived climate pollutants or SLCPs instead of the more general short-lived climate forcers;

There are suggestions that a broader range of polluting activities than only CO2 emissions, for example emissions of air pollutants, and a broader range of impacts than only climate change, such as impacts on air quality, health and sustainable development in general

The potential co-benefits of mitigating air pollutants and how the reduction in air pollution may affect the carbon sink are also important sources of uncertainty

Reducing coastal pollution, and consequently the penetration of organic carbon into deep benthic habitats, is expected to reduce the loss of oxygen in coastal waters and hypoxic areas in general

Mostly, they are concerned with keeping their grant money coming, hoping to find ways to get more funding.
