"For Americans, news of a record warm January might seem odd given how cold it was. But the U.S. is just a tiny fraction of the planet’s surface, and 'a much larger area of the planet’s surface was much, much warmer than average,' Burgess said.
"January was unseasonably mild in the #Arctic. Parts of the Canadian Arctic had temperatures 30 C (54 F) warmer than average and temperatures got so warm sea ice started melting in places, Burgess said.
"#Copernicus said the Arctic this month tied the January record for lowest #SeaIce. The U.S.-based National Snow and Ice Data Center had it as second-lowest, behind 2018."
