I'll bet anyone right now, $10,000USD, that this doesn't happen.

Disappearing ice is already causing problems for the Polar Bear and it is likely to be driven to the brink of extinction unless it can find ways of adapting.

Hasn't this already been debunked by the Canadian polar bear authorities (Dept. of Wildlife, or whatever) ???

This is good, right? That is oceanfront property owned by nobody, and...tourists will be able to see where it once was!

I hope someone isn't going to portray this as a bad thing...:)

Somebody want to save this article, so we'll have it when they change their minds, 5, 10 or 15 years from now?

And what will they say in 2041 when it's not ice-free?

All the nitwit experts who confidently predicted that hydrocarbon energy sources would be dried up by 2000 or that billions would be starving by 2000 have all quietly slithered off to some other enterprise.

1. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

2. Think of the fishing waters that will be opened up.

3. If it's going to be like that now is the best time to buy some beachfront property in northern Canada.

4. And what do these "experts" think they can do to stop it?

5. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Are these the same 'scientists' that, 30 years ago, said we were all going to freeze to death from the ice age that human activity was causing?
