Minute Memo #233 – North Pole is Melting
from Bill Still
Good evening, I’m Still reporting on climate change.
I’m infrequently wrong, but when I am, I admit it. It adds to the illusion of credibility.
So, I know it’s late on a Saturday night, but — this just in:
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 from the Consulate, 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Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.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 seal 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

This report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the Associated Press and published in The Washington Post – 93 years ago.
This must have been caused by emissions from the Model T Fords
I’m still reporting from Washington. Good day.
