Don't you love climate alarmism propaganda and demagoguery especially when published by science media! The data has not even been confirmed yet when this article was published! Shoddy journalism!
As a quick reminder, the last ice age known as the Little Ice Age only ended in around 1860.
"June temperatures in the remote Siberian town of Verkhoyansk (shown here in a historic summer image) average around 20° C. But on June 20, they climbed to 38° C (100.4° Fahrenheit), likely setting a new record for the Arctic Circle. ... If confirmed by the World Meteorological Association, that marks the hottest temperature ever recorded north of the Arctic Circle. ..."
"The anomaly was so marked that the region’s heat wave would represent a 1 in 100,000 year event — at least in a world without climate change, climate scientist Martin Stendel of the Danish Meteorological Institute in Copenhagen, tweeted on June 9."
There is always some so called expert available to come out with sensational and most likely ridiculous statements! Why don't we hear from some more skeptical experts!
"... Verkhoyansk has experienced extreme heat before: On July 25, 1988, the town hit a then-record of 37.3° C (99.1° F)."
So the new record is less than 1 degree Celsius higher! Thus, it could be even a measurement error or inaccuracy!
"Average temperatures in Siberia from December to May were also the warmest on record going back to 1979, according to Copernicus. When combined with data from NASA going back to 1880, the researchers suggest, this six-month period is likely unprecedented within the last 140 years."
Ah, towards the bottom of the article we learn that perhaps the temperature data for this remote part of the world is actually quite spotty and of what quality the data going back to 1880 is is not mentioned!
