Fairbanks is in a Subarctic region -- -40F is a complaint? I've been there twice and that's normal. If you take Climate Change seriously, then don't blame it when your neck of the woods isn't "warmer".

I've been to Fairbanks once (for 38 months). I've seen 21 days in a row with the warmest temperature a minus 30F. Walked to work at -52F. It took to long to get the car ready to drive. Fairbanks on only subarctic because it is 125 miles So. of the Arctic Circle.

"If you take Climate Change seriously,". Whether one takes climate change seriously or not is not the question, the question should be "Do you REALLY think you can change the climate?" When I hear the likes of Al Gore, I am reminded to grab my billfold and hide the money. Too many Chicken Littles live in mansions and fly on private jets.
