The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer an 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 fisherman, seal hunters & explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions & hitherto unheard of temeratures 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 3100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth & stones & well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals & no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring & smelt which have never before ventured so far north are still 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 & make coastal cities unihabitable.
I must apologize, as I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922 as reported by the Associated Press & published in the Washington Post 99 years ago. This grave concern must have been caused by the Ford Model T emissions & horse & cattle farts.
