Global Whining is definitely real! However, the myth of Global Warming isn’t. It’s simply made up so that Democrat Politicians have another source and a way to get tax payers money, and get free money from yuppies that give to them, and in several other ways.
LSD is bad for Americans, no matter what form it comes in!
Weather it is Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), or Liberal Socialist Democrat (LSD) Politicians. Both are detrimental to a persons health either way! lol.

Abstract
Climate warming in regions of ice‐rich permafrost can result in widespread thermokarst development, which reconfigures the landscape and damages infrastructure. We present multi‐site time‐series observations which couple ground temperature measurements with thermokarst development in a region of very cold permafrost. In the Canadian High Arctic between 2003 and 2016, a series of anomalously warm summers caused mean thawing indices to be 150 – 240 % above the 1979‐2000 normal resulting in up to 90 cm of subsidence over the 12‐year observation period. Our data illustrate that despite low mean annual ground temperatures, very cold permafrost (<‐10°C) with massive ground ice close to the surface is highly vulnerable to rapid permafrost degradation and thermokarst development. We suggest that this is due to little thermal buffering from soil organic layers and near surface vegetation, and the presence of near surface ground ice. Observed maximum thaw depths at our sites are already exceeding those projected to occur by 2090 under RCP 4.5.
However, there were no prior studies on which to base a rate of change. You cannot determine the slope of a line from one data point. “Higher than expected” could simply mean that prior estimates were wrong.
Good. I just purchased 100 acres of prime coastal beach property near Utquiagvik and expect a shipment of palm trees for the landscaping next spring. The resort should be open for business by 2025. Book now and get a 30% discount.
You are right. Their study is informative of the present condition, but it doesn’t mean crap regarding the subject of climate change. Come back in five, ten, twenty years with follow up an we will see where we stand.
Have you already forgotten about the hundreds of old folks who died during a heat wave in Europe (at least a decade ago) because their adult kids left them at home alone without air conditioning while they went on vacation?
