Arctic Ocean warming alert...
Posted: Tue Nov 05, 2019 9:18 am
"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 the 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Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points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 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 coast cities uninhabitable."
============
I must apologize.
I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in
The Washington Post 96 years ago.
This must have been caused by the Model T Ford's emissions,
or possibly from horse and cattle farts.
