Arctic is warmest it's been in 10,000 years, study suggests

Researchers studied permafrost samples in the Yukon near the Dempster Highway and determined that temperatures in the Arctic today are almost 2 C warmer than at any time in the past 10,000 years.

The temperatures recorded today are even higher than the previous highs believed to have occurred during the early Holocene period, about 9,900 and 6,400 years ago, when Earth's axis was tilted more strongly toward the sun, the report states.  https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/arctic-warmest-in-10000-years-1.5094392?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar
