Subject: Global WarmingThe Washington PostThe 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 Consulafft, 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Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and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 beforeventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishinggrounds. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice meltthe sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.====================Oops.... Never mind. This report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post - 88 years ago!
