Global Warming

 Printed in The Washington Post

 November 2nd

 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 yesterday from Consulafft, 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 Great masses of ice have been replaced
by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points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.
