One Good
Thing About Being Wrong Is
The Pleasure
it Brings to Others!!!
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masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones,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 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.
********************************
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 - 93 years ago.
Has this
awful cataclysm been caused by Ford's Model-T emissions or, perhaps, from horse
and cattle flatulence?
