Scientists say that big river of air high above Earth that dictates much of the weather for the Northern Hemisphere has been unusually erratic the past few years.They blame it for everything from snowstorms in May to the path of Superstorm Sandy. And last week, it was responsible for downpours that led to historic floods in Alberta, Canada, as well as record-breaking heat in parts of Alaska, experts say. The town of McGrath, Alaska, hit 94. Just a few weeks earlier, the same spot was 15 degrees. The current heat wave in the Northeast is also linked. "While it's not unusual to have a heat wave in the east in June, it is part of the anomalous jet stream pattern that was responsible for the flooding in Alberta," Rutgers University climate scientist Jennifer Francis said Tuesday in an email.[/quote] [URL]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/25/alaska-summer-weather-2013_n_3495850.html[/URL]

Global Warming
The last summer I was in Alaska (which was 2010 I think) I noticed the summers were getting warming than my last visit 8 years earlier. My family up there has been going nuts in the heat because not a lot of houses have A/C units installed but I hear it's a good business to be in up there right now.

The motherfucking Northwest Territories is seeing 35c days.
