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 Great masses of ice have been replaced by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!

One may not like Al Gore, but he won a Nobel Peace Prize for his documentary on global warming.

I think there is a lot of evidence that points to a rise in temperature, however temporary it may be.

Did you know the polar bear is the first creature to become an endangered species because of global warming?

It's worth looking into. If Earth dwellers are doing something that is harming the environment, lets find out what it is and stop it.

I like the planet Earth. It's the only planet with CHOCOLATE!!!

I agree with this.....but lying about it will not help to find the cause, only hinder and the question is......is there is a cause that man can correct.

Cato Institute environmental studies senior fellow Patrick Michaels disputes the department's science, however. In a statement issued Wednesday, he noted: "This marks the first instance of a species being listed based upon a computer model of future climate from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. There has been no net warming in the last decade, and scientists recently discovered that it is likely there will be little if any for the next decade." He concludes that the department's listing is based on "obsolete science," making this more of a political than a scientific decision.

The IPCC computer models project that Arctic ice decline will continue into the future. But the IPCC projections are based on the assumption that Arctic ice melting is the result of global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions, and that remains a questionable assumption.

At present, polar bear populations are robust and, according to native peoples living in the Arctic, are considerably larger than they were in previous decades. Predictions of polar bear endangerment are based on two sets of computer models: one set predicts how much Arctic sea ice will melt as a result of global warming, and the other predicts how polar bear populations will respond. But computer models of climate change are known to be fraught with problems, and the ecological models used to predict polar bears’ response to climate shifts are equally limited.

OH NOOoooo , the Arctic really is doomed:

Wait – that was in 1922.
