Nope – No Global Warming.
Norway's Meteorological Institute reported that the ice line on the Svalbard archipelago is extremely far north for the season. The waters around Svalbard are nearly free of ice and there are large areas of open sea up to near 84 degrees north. The reason is that the usual winter wind from the east or northeast has been replaced by winds from the south or southwest more usually seen in the summer. The average temperature on Svalbard in January so far this year has been 29F, fully 24F higher than normal.
A record temperature was recorded by the Meteorological Institute on the arctic island of Jan Mayen (71 degrees north) on Wednesday evening. The reading of 49F was easily the warmest in all of Norway and typical of summer on the island.

The same seems generally the same everywhere.
Something dissapointing in my opinion:
On a CNN morning show I saw the other morning, after a report on Al Gore's presentation of a film on global warming at the Sundance Film Festival, one anchor, if I heard correctly, cracked some joke about how good the movie must be (I guess how boring it looked). It's bad enough that we have to listen to their shameful, idiotic chatter all the time, but, although a morning show and not a real newscast, the comment was out of line and dismaying. For a man millions of people watch and perhaps even listen to to make a comment like that shows how little effect the story probably had and how unimportant Americans think the global warming problem is.
What a jerk.
