A Thaw at the north pole?

Recently, on Earth Nullschool, I checked the temperature around the North Pole, and the average temperature in the local area, the arctic near the North Pole, up to about 100 miles south of North Pole, averaged at just about 0 degrees Celcius...and February's ending! We've seen anomalies like this over the past few years, not just in the Arctic but also in Alaska, when the temperature reached over 60 degrees Fahrenheit (or about 15.9 degrees Celcius) during January at least two times. What is happening? Is it climate change? I think that it's pretty complicated, but I don't want to assume anything either. I think that whatever's happening regarding the climate is quite interesting, don't you think? The jet stream does interesting things in recent times. Now, when will surface wind from the equator reach the poles, or when will the opposite finally happen? I doubt that it will happen, but I hope that it will because that would be really neat. was about https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-stunned-by-surging-north-pole-temperatures-in-the-dead-of-winter
