The website given above provides the facts.   In 2012 temps averaged 2 deg C above normal through the entire country.   This is truly alarming.  It doesn't take a genius to conclude that a decade or two of this would make many of their glaciers but a memory.   Consider the effects if this phenomenon were experienced in southeastern Alaska and Greenland.  Not a pretty thought.   I've long been an adherent to the theory that the effects of global warming will come long after the peak-oil squeeze is felt.   Maybe I'm wrong.
