At the same time that record heat is occurring in the polar regions and elsewhere, snow is forecasted (scheduled) to fall as far south as Chihuahua, Mexico (2017 also saw record
low ice at BOTH poles).
Not exact matches
Scientists now believe that
ice collects on the floors of deep craters
at Mercury's
poles, where it can remain permanently shaded from the Sun and reach temperatures as
low as -235 degrees Fahrenheit (125 degrees Kelvin).
Low obliquity makes it easier to accumulate
ice at the
poles, and the precession effects alternate between one
pole and another as to where
ice most easily persists.
It is not that the polar regions are amplifying the warming «going on»
at lower latitudes, it is that any warming going on AT THE POLES is amplified through inherent positive feedback processes AT THE POLES, and specifically this is primarily the ice - albedo positive feedback process whereby more open water leads to more warming leads to more open water, etc. *** «Climate model simulations have shown that ice albedo feedbacks associated with variations in snow and sea - ice coverage are a key factor in positive feedback mechanisms which amplify climate change at high northern latitudes...&raqu

Ice at the poles does not change the amount of radiation reflected out of Earth's system near as effectively as ice at low latitud

In November, even CNN reported on the record -
low ice extent
at both
poles.
And remember, the satellite data are one small part of a vast amount of data that overwhelmingly show our planet is warming up: retreating glaciers, huge amounts of
ice melting
at both
poles, the «death spiral» of arctic
ice every year
at the summer minimum over time, earlier annual starts of warm weather and later starts of cold weather, warming oceans, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, more extreme weather, changing weather patterns overall, earlier snow melts, and
lower snow cover in the spring...
To use simpler words and be more exact: if the total amount of sunshine on the
poles is
lowest, we have an
ice age — in between (the interglacials) it's mild and comfortable
at high latitudes too.
The first half of 2017 has seen record
low sea
ice extents
at both
poles and near - record global average temperatures — despite the absence of a...
Sea
ice at the other
pole, around Antarctica, also reached a record November
low.
Ice cores can be made near the
poles and
at a few elevated
low latitude locations as well.
The more
ice there is
at the
poles, the more of the Earth's surface is white, reflecting more of the sun's light and heat and
lowering temperatures further.
More warming leads to a lot of feed - backs, some feed - backs lead to more CO2 (ie wildfires) and some leads to
lower albedo (ie decreasing
ice at the
poles).
The planet developed permanent
ice at the
poles when GHG / C02 levels dropped
low enough due to weathering when India met Asia or so the present level of knowledge appears to be telling us.
The assertion that replacing
ice with water
at the
poles will cause warming because water is dark ignores that the sun is
low on the horizon
at the
poles and sunlight is reflected off the water as glint.
