Climate Change Forecast

"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Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.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, it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coast cities uninhabitable"

I must apologize. I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post 96 years ago. This must have been caused by the Ford Model T's emissions; or possibly from horse and cattle farts.

Lolololhahahaha silly twits

Yes, they are silly twits. And in 25 or 30 years, they'll be showing video clips of greta thunberg and saying the same thing .... Oh, wait! They already are!!!

CarryOn

I do not understand why people don't look at these kinds of idiotic predictions from decades ago and make the connection. Do they want to believe the worst?

Drama. The most effective propaganda is that which elicits an emotional response, most often fear.

CarryOn

I'm sure you're right ... it just reinforces that "silly twit" thing, though ... I wonder if they'll still be using that phrase, "silly twit," 25 or 30 years from now .....

There is money to be made merchandising terror and shrewd criminals have worked it for many years. It has made Al Gore and some in congress quite wealthy. Governments have caught on and hire self appointed scientists to do selective research to promote hysteria as a foundation for a carbon tax. Teachers are trained to scare children into into a panic in the hope of converting their parents. It is a pathetic and heartless hoax and crony capitalists have made a mint selling expensive and unreliable alternate energy. Much of the gullible public swallows it hook line and sinker every time.

Well, they were using it a hundred years ago, so I'm guessing yeah

Absolutely agree, Elmer

Al Gore invented our climate crisis.....even thought it was there since the beginning of time. He made a movie about it and wrote a book or two. He has planes, boats and many cars and a few homes - just for him.

If there's a hurricane, tornado, Arctic Bomb (!!) or fires in California...he just sails away to a place that's nice for him. And then they give him an award....kind of like Obama getting the Nobel prize for what he promised to do, but didn't.

That is the crux of the matter. No doubt there is climate change. What causes it and what do we do about it is where there is no consensus.

What is astounding is that EVERY prediction by these alarmist have been wrong. They can't manage to get anything right, but demand the entire world lets them decide what actions need to be taken.

The scary part is how much traction this nonsense got in the liberal media.
They are spouting this as incontrovertible science !
