North Pole Ice On Track To Melt By September?

phobos13013 writes "Recently released evidence is showing the North Pole ice is melting at the highest rate ever recorded. As a result, the Pole may be completely ice-free at the surface and composed of nothing but open water by September. As reported in September of last year, the Northwest Passage was ice-free for the first time known to man. The implications of this, as well as the causes, are still being debated. Are global warming experts just short-sighted alarmists? Are we heading for a global ice age? Or is the increase in global mean temperature having an effect on our planet?"

    Ursus Maritimus has been through worse. They've had to put up with a lot higher temperatures before. What's more they're
    interbreeding with the Ursus Arctos (brown bear) population giving rise to the Grolar or the Prizzly. So does a polar bear
    shit into the woods? Soon he will but he wont GIVE a shit.

    All that climate alarmist crap. I haven't had access to untampered realtime raw satellite imagery for years so you can
    all stick it where the polar bear doesn't get sunshine. I am not going to take your word, it isn't worth a polar bears
    turd and as far as I can see out my window this is one hell of a cold summer so piss off.

    Hate much?

    What do you mean "it doesn't work that way?" Those are satellite images. Or don't you believe in science?

    As for a whore to the oil companies ... HAHAHAHAHA you are insane. Maybe you should *use the scientific method* rather that regugitate profiteering propaganda. People like Al Gore made their money form oil (look it up) and now they are making money off of global warming. It's fucking religion.

    Bullshit. He was always ridiculed for claiming to have "invented" the internet, even though he never said such a thing. IOW, I think you're full of shit.
