high temperatures in the high latitudes are not as uncommon as people think; if there is a dry spell the 24 hour sunlight can heat it up a lot

#2 Ever is a very short time in terms of records in the history of earth. We don't have records for even a gnat fart geologically.

#5 Scientists [Top Men] had predicted the Arctic wouldn't reach these levels until 2100, [a one day anecdote] meaning it is warming 80 years faster than previously thought.

Pretty big logical leap there, Mr. Journalist.

#6 ... meaning it is warming 80 years faster than previously thought.

An alternative explanation is their model is wrong enough to be nearly worthless, what with it being off by nearly a century.

As the great Feynman said, if the predictions from your theory don't match the observations, then your theory is wrong. It's really that simple.

I don't know how long the Arctic temperature record is, but in the US, "ever" is about 1870 or so.

#8 Hasn't been a 100° day here on the Florida coast since I moved here in 2017. But that's an anecdote.

#9 I'm sure it was much warmer at Tunguska on the morning of 30 June 1908. However, very local and passing.
