Re: Global Warming- Again (sigh)
Now here is a little teaser. I wash the dishes after every meal, now everyone knows the water runs right handed down south of the equator, I have always had trouble getting the soap suds away, but recently the water swirls around that fast nothing is left, I'm frightened to put a finger in, in case I lose it ha ha.
Cheers Des

Weather Report*
The Washington Post
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 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Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well*known glaciers have entirely disappeared.**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 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'm sorry, I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922,as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post…
…nearly 88 years ago!**

that was Only ten years after the Titanic hit a big Berg, and 96 years later on her Anniversary, when I was over the wreck of the Titanic, the nearest Ice berg was only 25 miles away.
