ARCTIC CLIMATE REPORT

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Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.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 .

Oh...................

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 - 94 years ago

This must have been caused by the Model T Ford's emissions.

And don't forget in the 1970s when scientists told us fluorocarbons and auto emissions were causing the earth to cool and we would soon be in a new ice age.

Don't forget to mention Al Gore was there in 1922 reporting the "facts" about the diminishing bergs etc.

It's all hilariously funny. Alaska has many fossilized ferns and palms which are all topical plants so if and i mean if the temps. are rising it wouldn't be the first time. You could either go and see them first hand like i did or look it up your self.

This is a great article and you can say even if all these things are happening today. It is NOT due to anything man made. It is probably due to the fact that things go in cycles and happen naturally. And we all should know by now. That all of this B.S. about man made pollution and cow farts is just a hoax to redistribute the wealth. And President Trump is right it was bad for America. Mainly because of Hillary and Obama trying to give away billions of our hard earned taxes away to other countries for Climate change and we the people had nothing to say about where our money was going. We need to use that money right here in our own country. So keep up the good work President Trump and we can still "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN".

Climate has ALWAYS changed and will continue to do so. I don't believe there is such a thing as this "CLIMATE CHANGE" danger everyone keeps mumbling about. I think it is just another way to get money from the masses and keep them distracted from another subject. Call me crazy.

And even though many have said so, and they supposedly have the data to back it up, I have doubts about the opioid epidemic. I don't want to get blasted from someone who has first-hand knowledge about it from a friend or family member who overdosed either.

I have no doubt there are people out there abusing it, selling it, buying it, and all the other evils associated with it. I just don't see it in my daily travels or experiences. I know that doesn't mean it isn't happening, I just don't see it.

But then I could be wrong. I have been wrong before and I will be wrong again. I am just very skeptical about ANY doomsday scenario that is broadcast to the masses. I certainly hope it isn't true for everyone's sake.
