“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.
Quote
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 Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones .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.”
Finally, verifiable results of the climate change.   :O

Quote
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.

Well, when "the experts" got hot and bothered (ha ha) over arctic warming and provide one of their examples of "we're seeing artifacts uncovered" you have to take a step back and ask how the artifacts got under the ice.

Well, DUH! They were on top of some ice, and then more ice grew on top of that ice and covered them up.

Of course, some of the "uncovered" artifacts have required drilling wells in the ice with steam hoses to uncover the said artifacts. I suppose injecting all that steam into the ice could be portrayed as a form of man-made global warming.

No; they were using special scientific heat that dissipates completely within six inches of the target area, not raising the temperature of anything around it at all.

In other news..
Where I'm at, its 20 degrees warmer than it was a week ago.
Going by those data points, I expect the temperature to be somewhere around 200 degrees by the end of June.

See, I can manipulate statistics taken from cherry picked data points over a short geological time period to give any result I want. How do I apply for a grant?

Where I'm at, it will just feel like 200 degrees by the end of June.
