Melting Arctic Ice Has Consequences
OriginalArlen writes to tell us about some compelling global warming coverage in the Washington Post. First there is an article about a study indicating that melting Arctic ice is threatening polar bears with extinction. The article quotes an environmentalist: "This study is the smoking gun. Skeptics, polluting industries and President Bush can't run away from this one." And the polar melting is opening new shipping lanes. The second article details a trip late in October through the Northwest Passage by a Canadian icebreaker. Never before in history could this trip have been accomplished so late in the year; ice would have choked off the passage. Estimates of when the passage might be navigable by commercial shipping range from 2020 to the end of the century. The indigeneous people are not looking forward to this development.
Mod the artical as a troll. Global warming is a political creation by the same people who brought us Original Sin. Its meant to make everyone feel warm and fuzzy and guilty.

A number of top scientists - some from the UofC - have spoken out and are starting to debunk the crap we've been fed by the media.
I just love segment #4 of the video - its on CO2. When CO2 levels were more than 10 times higher than now, about 400 million years ago, the planet plunged into the coldest ice age of the last 1/2 billion years.
