Weird when you consider the travails of Franklin and Amundsen.
If the passage gets going good it could affect Panama Canal revenues.


You could see the Chinese jump on the Global Warming band wagon at
that point.


I wonder how the passage is getting "increasingly ice free" when the
republican politicians are forcing everyone in their party to be darned
near militant in telling everyone that global warming just isn't
happening despite all of the data proving otherwise?


I wonder how we are having so many below average temperature days this
year? They are even calling this the year without summer in New England.

Can you tell me why we had the Medival Warming Period? Why did it occur?
What made it stop?

What caused the last ice age? What caused the glaciers across the
northern hemisphere to recede?

If global warming exists the solution is not Cap and Trade. The solution
is not light bulbs full of hazardous materials that cannot be thrown
away in a landfill.
