“The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot,” according to a Commerce Department report published by the Washington Post.
Writes the Post: “Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers. . . all point to a radical change in climate conditions and . . . unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone . . . Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones . . . while at many points well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared.”
More evidence of human-caused global warming? Hardly.
The above report of runaway Arctic warming is from a Washington Post story published Nov. 2, 1922 and bears an uncanny resemblance to the tales of global warming splattered across the front pages of today's newspapers. It is one of many historical accounts published during the past 140 years describing climate changes and often predicting catastrophic cooling or warming.
Here are excerpts from a few of those accounts, appearing as early as 1870:
"The climate of New-York and the contiguous Atlantic seaboard has long been a study of great interest. We have just experienced a remarkable instance of its peculiarity. The Hudson River, by a singular freak of temperature, has thrown off its icy mantle and opened its waters to navigation.” – New York Times, Jan. 2, 1870
“Is our climate changing? The succession of temperate summers and open winters through several years, culminating last winter in the almost total failure of the ice crop throughout the valley of the Hudson, makes the question pertinent. The older inhabitants tell us that the winters are not as cold now as when they were young, and we have all observed a marked diminution of the average cold even in this last decade.”...

I am waiting for an explanation why we need sea ice to survive.
Fewer icebergs is a problem?
Have you no heart?
Just picture all those drowned polar bears.

"I believe this idea has a strong connection with reality. I don't think we have much time. Fidel Castro said in one of his speeches I read not so long ago, 'tomorrow could be too late, let's do now what we need to do'."
"I believe it is time that we take up with courage and clarity a political, social, collective and ideological offensive across the world — a real offensive that permits us to move progressively, over the next years, the next decades, leaving behind the perverse, destructive, destroyer, capitalist model and go forward in constructing the socialist model to avoid barbarism and beyond that the annihilation of life on this planet."
--Hugo Chavez, at the 16th World Festival of Youth and Students, held in Caracas on August 8-15, 2005
Where do you THINK ice comes from? Your refrigerator????>
Thank God there weren’t any more ice burgs when the Titanic sailed - oh wait...
Firefox on Linux doesn’t want to be beamed to Planet Gore.
Washing *cough* ton *cough* BS *cough* Post.
Too hot for what? Have we asked the seals if they mind being a few degrees warmer?
THE SKY IS FALLING!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!! Icebergs?? Oh never mind...
The time for fooling around with RINO’s and marxists who call themselves “Progressives” to hide their marxist agenda (as if that will continue to work forever) is fast coming to a close.
Its a blessed thing that the degenerate slick son of a bitch ROMNEY from a family of cowards is going to try for the GOP nomination because it will once and for all propel a candidate (as yet undetermined) to stop pulling punches and declare WAR ON SOCIALISM.
The candidate must name names, vow to destroy the members of the “Congressional Progressive Caucus” and excoriate geographic areas such as San Francisco and other socialist strongholds as “US AGAINST THEM”
The effin party is over, time to smack down these CPUSA stooges and fellow travelers, put PR mens heads on pikes, and put the fear of God and the sword in the hearts of the ENEMY WITHIN.
Do they scream “ouch” in seal when they hit the surface or sumfin?
Dogs and cats....living together....
MASS HYSTERIA!!!
Are you OK??? You better get a drink of water or something!!! Hell with the computer for now!
What a load of bull sperm..
Unfortunately caught Brokaw at end of NBC news giving report on British Columbia’s recent salmon shortage. Usual 10 million coming down from somewhere now down to one million. One of the reasons cited by “experts” was temp rise in waters. Well if that’s true you can chalk it up to higher temps from below I say. Plates are shifting accd to some and that could be reason for any iceberg loss up north as well as difficulties in some stretches of forests along upper regions. The air hasn’t warmed for 15 years so any difficulties can be ascribed to earth-warming.
A modern editor would never allow words like 'dimunition' in an article. Too difficult for the modern publik skool graduates to understand.
