Trouble, I say, trouble!
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 Consulate 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Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.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 smelt 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.

This report was from November 2, 1922.
Reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post -. Yep, they’re still doing it, 94 years later. Some things never change.

Trouble? Plilphtttt!

In the late 60's I heard Burnt Balken (sic) speak on the topic while I was at the Air Force Engineers school, he was Admiral Birds pilot on his adventures at the N Poll. He maintained that each time they went up, the ice was thinner. It is still thinner now according to the news. I think we just need to learn how to live with it and quit pointing fingers at all the "evil people" that caused it.

81 degrees and 29 minutes is about 900 miles north of the arctic circle. those reports had to come from Santa's front yard.
So, it's all bs.
