Global warming nothing new it seems.
Interesting news article:
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Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and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 time it is predicted that due to the ice melt
the sea will rise and make most coast cities uninhabitable.
