It’s not the first instance of unusually high temperatures in what many consider the nation’s coldest state, but the National Weather Service only recently allowed for heat advisories to be issued there. Information on similarly warm weather conditions previously came in the form of “special weather statements.”
So, semantics...
Not to lessen the severity of the climate change that is "fueling" these warmer temps, but Come On, AP...
🤦♀️ 🙄 🤡
The headline is still accurate and the fact they're now feeling the need to change the name is notable.
Same article:
" Thoman also clarified that the term swap doesn’t have anything to do with climate change.
“I think some of it is related to the recognition that hot weather does have an impact on Alaska, and in the interior especially,” Thoman said. "
Looks like the next logical step is... uhh... getting rid of the National Weather Service?
Next? That's already happening: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/02/trump-national-weather-service-hurricanes
to be devil's advocate, Alaska isn't as cold as you might assume, the south is hit by a similar current to those that warm Britain, France and Norway, so it is oceanic and has warm currents to heat it up
Still caused by global warming though, but it isn't as bad as you might think it is, especially if you imagine Alaska to be snowy Taiga and mountainous frozen deserts
Anything Fairbanks and North is -20° F or lower a good portion of November-March. Kenai peninsula and North to Fairbanks is 20 to -20 F° in the same period. Southeast is the warmest with 40° to -10° F.
Southeast has been weird as fuck in the last decade though, it went 2 or 3 winters in row with no snow until past the new year. And what years we did get snow before new years rarely stuck around for long. Compared to the decade before where it's 2ft deep starting end of October and didn't leave until March at the earliest. Things are far warmer than they where. And the one glacier I see regularly has shrunk by 100+ ft of depth in the last 30 years. Shits unsettling as hell to experience.
Normally I think of Yukon when I think of Alaska, but how does it compare to say lower Ontario?
not climate change because it was also hot last summer. ugh
Fake news.
Don't believe these climatologists: they're only in it for the money.
Believe in Trump: he never lies and he wants Americans to have the cleanest air and crystal clean water.
(and he has 43 months left in his 2nd term)
That's not alarming at all. Moving along...
Yup humans deserve to die we are too stupid to survive, also most of us are terrible people
I think it is evolutions problem, not ours… hopefully it would be solved next iteration if we can’t figure it out?
