EEEK - Ships can now sailf from Europe to North Pole
And yet SUV-crazy america still insists global warming is a hoax.
Americans are paranoid conspiracy theorists. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060920...c_060920111816 Scientists shocked as Arctic polar route emerges Wed Sep 20, 7:18 AM ET PARIS (AFP) - European scientists voiced shock as they showed pictures which showed Arctic ice cover had disappeared so much last month that a ship could sail unhindered from Europe's most northerly outpost to the North Pole itself. The satellite images were acquired from August 23 to 25 by instruments aboard Envisat and EOS Aqua, two satellites operated by the European Space Agency (ESA). Perennial sea ice -- thick ice that is normally present year-round and is not affected by the Arctic summer -- had disappeared over an area bigger than the British Isles, ESA said. Vast patches of ice-free sea stretched north of Svalbard, an archipelago lying midway between Norway and the North Ple, and extended deep into the Russian Arctic, all the way to the North Pole, the agency said in a press release. "This situation is unlike anything observed in previous record low-ice seasons," said Mark Drinkwater of ESA's Oceans/Ice Unit. "It is highly imaginable that a ship could have passed from Spitzbergen or Northern Siberia through what is normally pack ice to reach the North Pole without difficulty."

The hoax is that the scientists claim they know why it's happening. The last ice age ended in the 18th century. Scientists don't know why it stopped (read: why that global warming episode started). But, despite the fact that they don't know why any global warming episode happened (there ave been many, one for each ice age), they claim to know why *this* one is happening. Sure they do. -- Bill Funk replace "g" with "a" |

Loco Laura is too **** poor to travel by ship (except maybe as a stowaway) and too ****ing chicken to get on an airplane (most of which cruise anywhere from 300MPH to 650MPH). -- "Man, I gotta tip my hat to Whitey... ...That Whitey's a baaad mother ****er!" --Chris Rock |

The last real ice age ended 10,000 or so years ago. That 500 year cold spell you're referring to was no ice age. Get your facts str8. |

Global warming is 99% caused by american SUVs. Well, that's why nobody ever listens to global warming scientonn morons. Since SUVs were invented in Africa, rather than America, and their whole purpose is to design aircraft. |
