Arctic Ocean getting warm; seals vanish and icebergs melt

(link, 1922 so no copyright issue)

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 [U.S.] Consul [George] Ifft, 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Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.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.

– The foregoing AP article was published in The Washington Post on Nov. 2, 1922.

We had almost all of the automobile era to panic. I guess no one thought of acting as control freaks in that era. Similar articles have poked up in the New York Times. I can't find the link but I remember one in December 1969, just as New York was preparing to enter a deep freeze for most of January 1970.

Meanwhile we have a real darkening crisis underway; six hours of daylight has disappeared since June and soon, if no action is taken, we may be entirely dark.

Let's panic!

wonder what she's up to these days. Its probably not safe to look away when she is involved.

Global Cooling in the 1970s was all the same thing...


1. create a "faux crisis"
2. raise taxes to hire "experts" who "warn" of the "crisis"
3. steal the tax money
4. say it is "not enough"
5. keep lying until prosecuted

This is what a climate crisis looks like.
