Effects of global warming - North Pole recorded 20 degrees Celsius above mid-winter norm

Effects of global warming is being felt because North Pole has recorded 20 degrees Celsius above mid-winter norm in Canada. The Canadian weather authorities have laid the blame squarely on temperature spike that has led to the freak depression which has, in turn, brought record Christmas temperatures to North America and lashed Britain with winds and floods.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 31 December 2015.

The deep low pressure area is looming over Iceland and churning up hurricane force with 75-knot winds and 30-foot waves in the north Atlantic, simultaneously, dragging warm air northwards. This, in the opinion of experts, is a very violent and extremely powerful depression due to which hot temperatures have been pushed so far north. This deep depression has, in fact, pushed hot air as far as the North Pole. As a result, temperatures are at least 20 degrees above normal, at around freezing point, between zero and two degrees.
US scientists from the North Pole Environmental Observatory have observed that the temperatures had climbed suddenly. The polar region is the area that has seen the most profound effects of climate change in recent decades and the current scenario could be that after the North Atlantic, the depression would head towards Siberia which could experience a heatwave of sorts.
