Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
It’s not the first instance of unusually high temperatures in what many consider the nation’s coldest state, but the National Weather Service only recently allowed for heat advisories to be issued there. Information on similarly warm weather conditions previously came in the form of “special weather statements.”
So, semantics...
Not to lessen the severity of the climate change that is "fueling" these warmer temps, but Come On, AP...
🤦♀️ 🙄 🤡
The headline is still accurate and the fact they're now feeling the need to change the name is notable.
Same article:
" Thoman also clarified that the term swap doesn’t have anything to do with climate change.
“I think some of it is related to the recognition that hot weather does have an impact on Alaska, and in the interior especially,” Thoman said. "
Looks like the next logical step is... uhh... getting rid of the National Weather Service?
Next? That's already happening: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/02/trump-national-weather-service-hurricanes
to be devil's advocate, Alaska isn't as cold as you might assume, the south is hit by a similar current to those that warm Britain, France and Norway, so it is oceanic and has warm currents to heat it up
Still caused by global warming though, but it isn't as bad as you might think it is, especially if you imagine Alaska to be snowy Taiga and mountainous frozen deserts
Anything Fairbanks and North is -20° F or lower a good portion of November-March. Kenai peninsula and North to Fairbanks is 20 to -20 F° in the same period. Southeast is the warmest with 40° to -10° F.
Southeast has been weird as fuck in the last decade though, it went 2 or 3 winters in row with no snow until past the new year. And what years we did get snow before new years rarely stuck around for long. Compared to the decade before where it's 2ft deep starting end of October and didn't leave until March at the earliest. Things are far warmer than they where. And the one glacier I see regularly has shrunk by 100+ ft of depth in the last 30 years. Shits unsettling as hell to experience.
Normally I think of Yukon when I think of Alaska, but how does it compare to say lower Ontario?
not climate change because it was also hot last summer. ugh
Fake news.
Don't believe these climatologists: they're only in it for the money.
Believe in Trump: he never lies and he wants Americans to have the cleanest air and crystal clean water.
(and he has 43 months left in his 2nd term)
That's not alarming at all. Moving along...
Yup humans deserve to die we are too stupid to survive, also most of us are terrible people
I think it is evolutions problem, not ours… hopefully it would be solved next iteration if we can’t figure it out?
