The Changing Arctic.

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Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.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

From a report dated 10 October 1922.

Scientist in 1922: People have been dying from bacterial infection for thousands of years, it makes no sense to try to create a drug that can reverse this trend.

Great post! I realized a couple of years ago how silly all this ocean rising is after my first trip to Venice... if the water was ever to rise that's the place where you will have real historical data to go by. Most buildings are only a few inches above mean sea level. There have been periods of floods there since the beginning and a rising ocean would literally destroy the entire city. That's not happening...

Global warming has been causing deaths for over 100 years, in 1912 the iceberg that sank the Titanic broke away from the northern ice shelf floated out to sea and sunk the Titanic.:p

Is okay though there is gold under that ice.

While parts of the base remain top secret, the military offered up a virtual tour of the interior of the building. The PR rollout comes as Moscow moves to lay claim to the region’s huge oil and gas reserves believed to be worth as much as $35 trillion

That's one way to look at it.

Then again, if only global warming had been more severe, there wouldn't have been any iceberg at all.

Wait, wut?

That must mean that Antarctica was once tropical, lush forests.

Because that's where oil and gas comes from...
