Canada Loses North Pole

Posted by timothy on Saturday June 11, 2005 @05:16PM from the loser-canadians dept.

An anonymous reader submits "The Earth's roaming magnetic pole has moved out of Canada and into international waters as it heads towards Siberia. The magnetic pole has been within Canada's current boundaries for at least the past 400 years and left sometime in the past year after rapidly picking up speed in 2001. If it keeps to its current course and expected speed, it should reach Siberia by the middle of the century. There's speculation that December's tsunami causing earthquake may have been one of the factors causing the pole to move more quickly than predicted."

Eactly! Bush doesn't realize the horrific damage he is doing to the world with his environmental policies. The CO2 output from the US has already tripled since Clinton was president. Clinton didn't do anything for the environment but at least he never had a policy of active destruction.

PS: Why Slashdot's new hatred of the blind policy? I had to have one of the seeing people type-in that damn code so I could post. Typical Republican hatred of anyone that's not perfect.
