There is something peculiar about it being obscenely warm at the North Pole, but ONLY at the North Pole, while the rest of the planet cools off from its abnormally warm year. Now, perhaps it's the lower albedo from the lower ice cover causing a lag, or perhaps there is some volcanic activity underneath the pole... something.
One thing is for sure: the climate models that are being used to justify the claims of global warming have not accurately predicted anything of the sort. Another point to be made here is that the unusual warmth disappeared entirely during the spring and summer, when temperatures were almost perfectly normal. Could this be a measurement error, a bug in the observation system? It's plausible.
