Well yes, some parts of the world are always going to be colder than average at some given time. It's the global average that we're looking at, not specific locations at specific times, which is why I nitpicked Lexicus's post too. There will always be specific places that are colder than average for the time of year. But if you look at his post, you'll see that there was a big, severely cold blob over central Asia on November 17, but that it was more than balanced out by all of the hot blobs on the map, so that on average the temperature is somewhat higher than average. Right now it's the US's turn to get a cold blob. Hot blobs are more common and on average hotter, while cold blobs are less common and on average less cold. That's what global warming looks like in real time.
Just googled to find that but its buried in the AGW chaff. Swamped if you will. Take me a month to dig through. Look ay your north pole map, appears like the ice caught fire and now the coles are that really hot red color.
His image is a temperature anomaly map of November 17, 2016, which was a bizarrely warm day at the North Pole. It doesn't update, it's just a snapshot of that day. (already covered)
That is true; while of course it's impossible to say when an event was caused by global warming and in what proportion, temperature anomalies far above average are much more common than they were.
Well I saw it some time back, how the colors were being changed to more reds and yellows.
Okay Lex, old map. I personally don't put up maps from the previous glaciation period to prove a point today, so I assumed it was recent.
