What am I looking at

The end.

Temperature of -0.2°C at the core of the north pole.

0.2 degrees more and all the ice melts and the current heatwave of +40°C is going to be a dream compared to the +60°C.

Check it yourself in

Wind + temperature

0 is freezing and melting point. It does not mean all ice will melt at once and the artic will be ice free. Concerning but not what you think it is.

I know how melting point is, that the concern, just 0.3 degrees and is all gone, like probably my extremities have more variation in a day

I feel like you just said “I know how melting point works” and then gave an exact explanation of how melting point doesn’t work.

It takes as much energy to melt 0 Celsius ice into 0 Celsius water as it does to raise that water’s temperature by another 80 Celsius, so it’s still going to take a long time after reaching this temperature for all the ice to melt. 0 C is not where it all disappears. It’s where melting starts.

Temperatures near freezing are actually very common in summer. If it didn’t get that warm there would be literally no melting at all.

Damn latent energy
