Oh No !!!!

“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 temperature changes 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 to be 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“Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points, well known glaciers have disappeared.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 coast cities uninhabitable.”
