North Pole Ice-Free???? -- DAT'S RIGHT!!!!

 

U heard's correctly's!! ---- For da first-time ever.....climatologists confirm dat this year will record as da most lowest percentage of summer ice at da North Pole ~ and will be totally ice-free for da summer --- Surely to be in da history books!! :o

 

read da article here!!

A sure-tale warning sign of Global Warming???? - MOST CERTAINLY!! - These signs are what da environmentalists have been telling us all for decades.....DAT DA GLOBAL WARMING THREAT IS REAL!!! -- Not just some mass elaborate hoax as propsed by some of da biggest skeptics out there ~ who "DARE" state....."Global Warming has got to be da most biggest hoaxes ever perpretrated" -- Even da great sci-fi novelist Michael Crichton has  said in his book "State of Fear"  -- that "Global Warming isn't real!! -- It's largely unverifiable and is treated as a sort of religion in its own right"  ~ "WHAT DA  HECK!?" O_o  O_o

 

How one one claim such things.....when da signs are OBVIOUS!? ---- habibats are threatened....ecosystems are hurting....our polar ices are melting at exponential rates......hotter summers.......stronger weather storms -- IT'S ALL THERE!! ---- and yet there are those who are in "denial" ---- or As Al Gore says in his environmental film....."Da frog will stay inside a steadily boilin' pot of water...until it is ultimately rescued at da last minute" ~

 

Let us not be like the frog ---- and take action while we still have time!! -- Once again.......just like what conspiracy theorists say, "It ain't fear-based propaganda....IF IT'S REALLY HAPPENING!!!!" ---- Global Warming is a real issue.....and a real threat......to our ecology and to us all ~ We have the power.....to make the wise decisions -- the queston is: "What choice will we make"??????

for the first time

Oh Yannaki - After I read your blog and signed off and back on to my computer ...look what I found! A story about just what you are talking about... This is amazing to think this is a First for recorded human history! ~

AOL News Quiz

1. Scientists from the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo., said the North Pole may be temporarily free of ice for the first time in human history as early as ...

A. this year.
B. 2009
C. 2015
D. 2020

Answer - A. this year.

Mark Serreze, the center's senior scientist, said there's a 50-50 chance the North Pole will be completely free of ice for a brief time this summer. "Five years ago, to think that we'd seven be talking about the possibility of the North Pole melting out in the summer, I would have never thought it, " Serreze said. Last year, the ice retreated enough to open the Northwest Passage, the sea route through the Arctic, for the first time in recorded history.

Consequences ~

 

WoW!!! - dat's kool Coralinni!! - what a perfect coincidence - JUST WHEN WE WERE TALKIN  ABOUT DA NORTH POLE!!!!!! :D :D

 

Seriously, it is quite amazin' -- but also very alarmin' and disturbing --- for these signs tells us DIRE consequences for our future -- We are seeing a prelude to what's to come in da coming decades -- IF WE DON"T STEP UP TO DA PLATE AND CHANGE OUR WAYS! - to preserve n' protect our most precious resources - and our planet Earth ~ WE ALL HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT! :o

For many years....scientists, climatologists, environmentalists.....they've all been predicting the same........and warnin us of what's happening......that da polar ices would melt, affecting large sections of da ecosystem....impacting our food supplies...alterin' da world's climate ~ yet there are those skeptics out there....pumpin' out outrageous claimsof how "FAKE" global warming is.....sendin' confusin messages out to da public --- For those dat are unaware listenin' to these doofballs.....No wonder they are confused!!! O_o

But da cold-hard data comin' from da labs all show da same thing ---- Da world's climate is DEFINITELY CHANGING! -- our days are gettin' warmer instead of da opposite......and it's happenin' AT A RATE UNHEARD OF IN NATURE!!! --- in 100 or so years......our Carbon Dioxide levels have gone off da roof! -- and so has da world's temperatures!! --- It took only 100 years to do dat......Versus da many thousands n' thousand of years it took for da Ice Ages to form and thaw -- and shape our current-day normal climate patterns ~

Now -- as climatologists have feared ---- Things are beginning to happen....NOT IN DA NEXT LIFETIME - or SEVERAL LIFETIMES -- BUT RIGHT NOW!!!!!! IN OUR OWN!!!!!! ----- It's predicted......at our current rate.....IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING DRASTIC --- All our our world's ICE - From Greenland to Antarctica -- will be PERMANENTLY gone in 50 or so years.....THAT'S NOT RIGHT!!!!!!!! ---- Dat amount of melted ice alone.....will raise our mean sea levels by a significant number ~ enough to permanently change da world's coastal maps ~ Florida, NYC, da West Coast, SE Asia, Da Netherlands.....could possibly be totally inundated ~ (which will lead to population problems -- w/ millions displaced) ~

We have already been treated to a preview of how EXTREMELY fast this is occurin'.......Just last year, da fabled NW Passage as actually melted.......allowin' for da first-time -- travel by ship across da North Arctic -- therefore bypassing da Panama Canal -- cuttin' off about several Months of travel-time. ~

 

Even more shocking.....is da incredible meltin' of da ice sheets in Antarctica --- esp. in one particular area....Da Larsen A & B ice shelf -- on da Antarctic Peninsula ---- Both massive ice sheves have disintegrated within a 10 year period ---- Larsen A meltin' completely in da year of 1995 --- BUT DA MOST ALARMING --- was da melting of Larsen B.....which scientists thought it would hold intact & stable for at least 12,000 years....even w/ Global Warming....due to its sheer size and depth ~ WHAT THEY DISCOVERED - BLEW THEM AWAY -

They discovered -- dat da ice shelf COMPLETELY COLLAPSED -- JUST WITHIN ABOUT A MONTH'S TIME!! (from Jan. 31-Mar. 7, 2002) -- 3,250 cubic kilometers of ice -- 200 m (600 feet) thick --- DISINTEGRATED ~  How could nature work at such a FAST pace!?!? O_o

IT DIDN'T - it's all da result of us - Da Human Civilization ~ with our continuin' pollutin' of our environment - dependent on fossil fuels, gas guzzlin'  n' IDLING cars, wastin' resources  --- THIS SINGLE EVENT -- Should be a WAKE-UP CALL for us all ~
