US Weather Bureau Report
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 Consul Ifft, at
Bergen, Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he
declared, 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 with 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 Great masses of ice have been
replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while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.
I'm sorry, I neglected to mention that this report was from 2nd
November, 1922 as reported by the AP and published in The Washington
Post.
So, basically what you're saying is that because of some anecdotal
evidence
back in 1922, the current deluge of scientific data that confirms adverse
climate change should be ignored, even including the US military
assessment
that it's a security concern.
Hey, nincdepoop, can't you read? He said, "US Weather Bureau Report

Now, what is so hard to understand there?
WAFJ!
Hey bozoboy.... it was from 1922 and one report!! Perhaps you haven't
learned much since then, but I'm pretty sure they have.
