Looks like Barrow, Alaska is not warming.

There are a few problems here:
- The graphs do not have suitable scales. The temperature increases are in fractions of degrees, but the graphs don't have nearly that degree of precision.
- No trendlines have been calculated for the data. As it is quite noisy, this makes it hard to see whether there is any trend at all.

Besides which, Kraftie was talking about 2003-2013. The data posted stops in 2002.

So.......... did a solar storm weaken the polar circulation in the winter of 2013-2014, as you cited research for, or was that winter part of your 1998-2014 cooling trend?

It doesn't make sense to construct a dichotomy out of seasonal weather events and climate trends.

What is ensuring that global warming is not happening?

Global cooling. This will hopefully change. Warmer is better. Cooling is bad.
