Yes, this winter is brutal. Yes, it’s really cold. But Alaska is enjoying very warm weather. Anchorage Alaska saw an official high of 44 degrees Tuesday [Jan. 2]. Yes, Alaska was warmer than we were. Preliminary statistics indicate that 2017 will be one of the warmest on record.
When we talk of global warming, we aren’t talking about just New York, or just the Northeast, or even the continental United States. Global warming is the whole Earth, not a small piece of it where we live.
