It Just Hit 49 Degrees in the Arctic Circle. It's November.

SS: We have seen these heatwaves almost continuously for the past few months. Nevertheless, it is important to point to this non-stop, record-breaking heat in the Arctic Circle as a sign that we are going through a new threshold on the collapsing biosphere.

https://earther.gizmodo.com/its-way-too-hot-in-the-arctic-right-now-1845654103

Excerpts:

If it were an isolated event, it wouldn’t be cause for alarm. But this year, it’s adding to a cacophony of warnings. Bizarre heat turned large swaths of the Siberian Arctic into a blazing tinderbox that sent a record glug of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Sea ice shrunk to its second-lowest level on record while its volume bottomed at its lowest levels turns up the volume just a tiny bit. The tundra literally exploded because it was too damn hot.

Put simply, this is what a climate emergency looks like. The Arctic is the fastest-changing place on the planet. As Dana Nuccitelli put it in Yale Climate Connections, we’re watching a “veritable suicide pact” play out in real-time.

Is there a possibility that Niantic will do something about it and how could they forget that polar day exists.

US Presence in Arctic Circle

I just saw on CNN that the US State Department announced that the US would establish a “presence” at the Arctic Circle to ensure it remains an area of “peaceful cooperation”. Does anyone else think this is oddly strange timing to announce this given the recent UAP activity and limited disclosure?

Living in the Arctic Circle is something else

I'm based in Tromsø, Norway for the most of the winter. I'm at the halfway point and I gotta say, polar nights can be brutal to acclimate to. I love the cold and I love the dark. I've always wanted to go somewhere it's dark all the time because I thought that I'd thrive in this climate. I was dead wrong. I didn't realize how much humans rely on the light and dark cycles.

Because it's dark and snowy all the time, I'm perpetually tired since it really is cozy weather. Its also not as simple to go out exploring in the snow since you have to travel with a purpose it feels like. I also can't stay asleep for longer than 3hr at time. I work out of CST between 7a-4p every day. Which means I work from 2-11p here. I keep falling asleep at work, spend the hour lunch between 6-7p sleeping, then i keep dozing off for the rest of my shift.

Right as I get off, I can't sleep, even though I can't stay awake. My mind starts to wake up and I can't sleep at all until around 4a. Once I finally do, I keep waking up at 7a extremely exhausted, but unable to go back to sleep at all. If I'm tired enough, I'll doze off for about an hour before work. Then the day starts all over again. I've tried to become more physically active by going on daily walks and having vitamin D and C supplements, but my mind is beyond fucked here.

Don't get me wrong, I also love it here. This is probably the most beautiful city I've been to. Everyone has been exceedingly friendly and helpful. Zero language barrier issues too. I love the snow and I love the skyline, especially from Storsteinen overlooking the city. I love how simple the public transportation is. I also love how you don't have to leave the city to see the northern lights. I was just standing at the bus stop the other day, looked up and saw the most beautiful auroras.

I've also noticed pricing is either really cheap, or really expensive. For example, I can get a 6-pack of beer for like $3. But a small bottle of contact solution was $21.

I'm glad I came here and got to experience all of this. Even though I personally love the cold and constant darkness, my body disagrees I guess. Tromsø is complicated. It will definitely humble you.

Edit:

As promised, here's the beer prices at the local Rema 1000. 30NOK is about $2.80

Edit2:

Damn. The price is apparently per beer. I guess people just rip open 6 packs and take singles out. Never seen that before.
