On Monday, April 11, 2016,when Boston had a high temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit, Kangerlussaq, Greenland, 2000 miles north, saw a record high temperature of 17.8 degrees Celsius, or 64.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Greenland scientist Trevor Popp even posted a picture of a mosquito flying around (which you can see in the article link below)....what is significant about Greenland is that it contains the second largest ice sheet-if that were to melt it would raise sea levels by 20 feet in places such as the coastal areas of NY to Shanghai, China... So this warming occurring in Greenland, as I have posted has also been occurring at Mt Everest, and of course in the arctic ( of grave danger from a permafrost methane burp) is significant evidence to a planet rapidly warming.
