Arctic warming 3 times as fast as world

From Gavin Schmidt:


The Arctic warming is getting a lot of attention this week, but I keep seeing references to the warming being twice as fast as the global mean, and that's not right. 
It's more like 3 times the global mean. 

GISTEMP Global mean warming 1970-2019: 0.95ºC (±0.1ºC, 95% CI) Arctic warming (64ºN-90ºN): 2.94ºC (±0.4ºC, 95% CI) [CI = confidence interval]
