Darn scary article on global warming . . .

This is getting darn scary! We'd better all start getting serious
about global warming.

You've GOT to read this.

The Washington Post

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
report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at
Bergen, Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers
all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto
unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions
report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees
29 minutes.

Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very
warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and
stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers
have entirely disappeared.

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic,
while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before
ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing
grounds.

Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea
will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.


Oops! Never mind. This report was from November 2, 1922, as reported
by the Associated Press and published in the Washington Post - 88
years ago!
