Note: Novermber 27th 2018: Though this happened for the first time that I know of in recorded history on December 2015 I believe, it hasn't been the last time the north pole has melted out since then. It's true the first time was fluke conditions but these conditions are seeming to repeat themselves now more often on almost a yearly basis now with Global warming. end note.
Begin quote from December 21, 2016:
PHoto of the North pole completely melted out taken last winter
Since this winter is also 50 degrees above normal right now for the north pole I thought I would share with you what 50 degrees above normal did last year in the middle of Winter. This also is likely why the polar vortex sweeps down into the U.S. or Russia and Europe or China like a hat slipping off a head too. Last year a storm came across from west to east across the nation and then somehow swept north to the north pole raising temperatures 50 degrees and melting it out. I think the temperatures went up to 40 or 50 then which was enough to melt out the north pole last year.
The other interesting thing about the north pole is it is just ice on top of open water. So, when it melts out and stays melted out for 6 months or more by 2045 it will just be open sea there and all the polar bears likely will have to have interbred with Grizzlies and become Grolar bears on land because otherwise they will go extinct with no ice flows to live on and hunt on.
2045: The year that there likely will be no ice at all in the Arctic in the Summertime
That was the main take-home thought of a new study published earlier in the week in the journal Science, but that wasn’t the only shocking revelation the research has hinted at. According to the study, Americans rank among the top contributors in annual greenhouse gas emissions that lead to climate change, and consequently melt sea ice in the Arctic. Sea ice, which refers to the ocean water that freezes in the winter and melts in the summer, has progressively been shrinking in volume, and recent statistics from the National Snow and Ice Data Center show summertime levels decreasing by close to 34,000 square miles each year.

ARCTIC ICE MELT: HOW MUCH ICE DOES MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE MELT EACH YEAR?
SO, AS YOU CAN SEE THIS IS HAPPENING MUCH FASTER THAN YOU MIGHT HAVE EXPECTED.
ONE THING THAT HAPPENED LAST WINTER IS THE NORTH POLE COMPLETELY MELTED OUT FOR A FEW DAYS JUST FROM A WARMER STORM THAT CAME UP THERE FROM THE U.S. THE TEMPERATURES WENT UP TO ABOUT 50 DEGREES FOR A FEW DAYS AND THIS TEMPORARILY MELTED OUT THE NORTH POLE FOR A FEW DAYS TO A WEEK. I HAVE A PICTURE OF THIS SOMEWHERE IN MY BLOGS. HERE IT IS:
