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?"
Oh no! What will happen to santa and his elves, and the reindeer? Won't someone think of the reindeer?
Viral software licensing is not freedom, it is in fact GNU/Socialism.
It's about fucking time those damn penguins get what they deserve.
But lack of polar bears is good for seals. screw those polar bears and their radical bear agenda!
But lack of seals is good for cod. screw those seals and their radial seal agenda!
Without these natural predators the population of Arctic researchers could reach dangerous levels.
Just read a great book about China's 'discovery' of the America around 1421 and they were able to get their junks around Greenland, a feat not otherwise possible, but it was warm that year.
Just think how much they've progressed, now they can get their junks all the way to Walmart!
They live in areas around which, according to the article, have plenty of ice...

Almost.
But not quite.
Don't anthropomorphise Mother Nature. She hates it when you do that.
The World Wide Web is dying. Soon, we shall have only the Internet.
Those seals are not radial! They exhibit bilateral symmetry!
Note: the above is a marine biology joke. If you have not majored in Marine Biology, please go back to college and complete enough courses until the above is funny in context.

And, plankton take solar energy and convert it into stored food energy.
So, Global Warming = Less Polar Bears = More Seals = Less Cod = More Plankton = More Solar Conversion = Global Cooling!!!!
Or, go back and major in maths. You get all the jokes!
Your ad here. Ask me how!
It's kind of gamey... like spotted owl and bald eagle.... :-D

If it doesn't happen, will we get an apology for misleading us?
Nope. We'll get a dupe.
