Time to re-evaluate AGW? New global warming data raises eyebrows

“ 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 Consultant 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  Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.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 sea 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.  ”

Time to stop joking about AGW? Whoa!  Sounds legit.  Wait.  On, I'm sorry.  The AP article was printed in the WaPost in November. November 2, 1922.  Never mind.  Carry on. See the original article in the NOAA library  http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/mwr/050/mwr-050-11-0589a.pdf thor
