 * **__the climate in the arctic is very old but it is slowly rising and hurting animals like the polar bear.__**
 * **the arctic climate is influenced by the ocean which carries wind into the arctic.**
 * **The clmate in the arctic is characterized by the spatial variability avalible**
 * **winters are cold and stormy**
 * **there is an "active layer" that often remains waterlogged and frost may occur in any month, the summer days provide three months with temperatures above 10 degrees Celsius,**
 * **temperatures can exceed 30 degrees Celsius because of global warming.**
 * **Recent observervationsin the surface air temperature changes over the Arctic region are the largest in the world.**
 * **Winter rates of warming exceed 4 degrees C.**
 * **In winter, arctic weather is dominated by the frequent occurrence of may different factors**
 * **In many arctic and subarctic regions, the weather is controlled by pressure systems.**
 * **climate in the artcic is rising slowly and the water is beggining to rise around the world and delivering devistating results to parts around the world due to the increase in temp.**
 * **the arctic is getting to the point where wildlife are becoming endagered or extincted because the food sources are running low for carnivores.**
 * **climate is changing at an accelerated pace in the Arctic region.**
 * **the climate change in the arctic has many consequences: rising temperatures, loss of sea ice, unprecedented melting of the greenland ice sheet, and many impacts on ecosystems.located in the Norhern Hemisphere. mostly in the arctic**
 * **north polar annual precipitation is generally between 60 cm and 125 cm, a cool season maximum occurs.**
 * **about six months of snow coveroccurs in the arctic region**
 * **The climate of the Arctic, classified as polar, is characterized by long, cold winters and short, cool summers.**
 * **Polar climate may be further subdivided into tundra climate which has a warm climate of 50 degrees ferinheit and a cold climate of 32 degrees ferinheit.**
 * **The interplay of ocean currents in the North Atlantic is very important to climate.**
 * **The winters in the Tundra as well as being very cold are also very dark and north of the Arctic circle.**
 * **Average temperatures in the Arctic region are beggining to rise twice as fast as they are elsewhere in the world.**
 * **Arctic ice is getting thinner, melting and rupturing.**
 * **the largest single block of ice in the Arctic is the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf, that has been around for 3,000 years before it started to crack in 2000. Within two years, the glacier had split all the way through.**
 * **Rising seas would severely impact the United States as well. Scientists project as much as a 3-foot sea-level rise by 2100.**
 * **this all could put major cities under water very soon**
 * **the average temperature for the month of january has increased 5 degrees**
 * **In the past 50 years, average yearly temperatures in Alaska and Siberia have increased by about 16 degrees**
 * **There is 30% more carbon dioxide in the air today and the proof is in the iceburgs**
