Hardly 'Ice Cool in the Arctic'

It's somewhat scary to hear that many wild-fires are blazing in the Arctic in locations from Greenland to Siberia (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/26/unprecedented-more-than-100-wildfires-burning-in-the-arctic-in-worst-ever-season). The smoke can be seen from space and, as well as adding to the greenhouse gases of the atmosphere, the ability of our polar regions to reflect a percentage of the sun's rays back into space seems to be coming impaired. Climate change appears to be progressing much more quickly than even the most pessimistic predictions. It seems like the 'gloomsters' have it!
