What caused Siberia's climate to receive strong heat waves?
By : https://www.quora.com/profile/James-MatkinNATURAL VARIATION.Siberia is one of the coldest places on earth with brutal winters and by contrast summers there can be VERY HOT on occasion. They are challenged with the coldest weather on earth, and sometimes like a black swan they get a break. It is key to know these Arctic Circle heat waves have happened in the past long before human industry came along. Weather always swings hot to cold and these cycles do not show climate change even if they are 100 years apart.
This means an unusually cold winter in Siberia is no different than an unusually hot summer with heat waves. It is weather not climate change. Alarmists are guilty of confirmation bias treating warm weather different than cold weather. They became all excited about the California draught and then the Australia wild fires but ignored the Arctic winters now sweeping North America...
Previous record in Verkhoyansk Siberia was 37.3C (99.1F) in 1988, also before “climate change” was even an issue , and CO2 in the atmosphere thenwas just below the 350 parts per million
Verkhoyansk has an extreme subarctic climate dominated much of the year by high pressure. This has the effect of cutting off the region from warming influences in winter and together with a lack of cloud cover leads to extensive cold during the cooler months. In the summer, the opposite is true, leading to excessively high temperatures.
Heat waves like today happened North of the Arctic circle in the past.
But, what about the other times when it got that hot above the Arctic circle, before there was even a glimmer of “global warming” aka “climate change” becoming ascience and social justice cause?
“For example,this Associated Press articlesays:
“…it was 100 degrees on June 27, 1915, in Fort Yukon, [Alaska] according to official records of the National Weather Service. Records date back to 1904.”
Inconveniently, that pretty much cools down the BBC false claim of “the hottest temperature ever recorded north of the Arctic Circle”.BothVerkhoyansk, SiberiaandFort Yukon, Alaskaare well above the latitude that defines theArctic Circle. How is it, that in 1915, when “climate change” supposedly due to increased carbon dioxide in our atmosphere wasn’t even a factor, it got that hot? “
Relax. More heat is much preferred to less heat particularly in Siberia used by Russia for prison camps.
Two best proxies for the impact of temperature are increased wild fires and melting polar ice and both show no change by Siberia.
So you think you're cold? How does 88 below zero sound?
