The State of the Climate November 2015 report noted that in order for 2015 to not become the warmest year in the 136 - year period of record, the December global temperature would have to be at least 0.81 °C (1.46 °F) below the 20th century average — or 0.24 °C (0.43 °F) colder than the current record low December temperature of 1916.

If in practice a warmer (less cold) Arctic coincides with cooling in the world's main population centres (NE USA, NW Europe, N India, N China), as appears to have happened in the early part of the current NH winter, it is not clear to me why a warming Arctic should be cause for AGW alarm (although it could perhaps in a crude / tabloid sense be used as cause for Global Cooling alarm).

Ocean oscillations and currents could (and do) cause local effects as warm and cold water interchanges, but they can not cause a global effect as they just move energy around rather than increasing it.

In a recent CNN panel debate, global warming critic Marc Morano of Climate Depot responded to a question suggesting that current record cold temperatures are a harbinger of «climate change.»

8 global circulation of deep ocean currents transports warm water to colder areas & cold water to warmer areas efficient heat - transport system drives Earth's climate

leading scientist has hit out at misleading newspaper reports that linked his research to claims that the current cold weather undermines the scientific case for manmade global warming.

Current global climate models suggest that the water vapor feedback to global warming due to carbon dioxide increases is weak but these models do not fully resolve the tropopause or the cold point, nor do they completely represent the QBO [Quasi Biennial Oscillation], deep convective transport and its linkages to SSTs, or the impact of aerosol heating on water input to the stratosphere.

That envelope is not just a matter of global - average surface temperature (to which the misleadingly innocuous term «global warming» applies) but of averages and extremes of hot and cold, wet and dry, snowpack and snowmelt, wind and storm tracks, and ocean currents and upwellings; and not just the magnitude and geographic distribution of all of these, but also the timing.

As unusual as the current cold is for the U.S., the global picture shows that January is not on course to break that 28 - year warm streak, either.
