North and South Polar Vortexes
The center of Earth's Vortexes are now directly over the North and South Poles. The hottest 'spot' on Earth is the red area in the area of the tsunami. The vortexes are currently at work removing extra heat from the equatorial areas to the poles. That is why it is 5 degrees warmer especially at the North Polar where the North Polar Cap is an ocean and not a land mass. The deterioration of Earth's Ice Caps and Fields has doubled in the last two and a half years.
