Arctic sea ice expected to hit record low ...
92% chance?
Record was already beaten days ago with one month of melting left. Both Area and extension records are history.
/sarconal on/
This is fantastic. Now we can forego repairs on the Alaska Pipeline. We can run tankers directly from Prudhoe Bay to New York/New Jersey via the IFNWP. (Ice Free North West Passage)
/sarconal off/
We can probably really do that now:
I think ship's props would still get too clogged up with Polar Bears.. but soon.
About one month of melting left ... we might even be able to do NE passage too.
Not visible from that rendering are the thousands of polar bears that are starving.
The polar bears are starving, the moose are under serious stress in Minnesota, the puffins are dying, and these are just the big/photogenic species that made the news in the last month or so.

I saw an article a month or two ago - polar bears are so stressed they're coming to land to give birth and biologists ar starting to see polar/grizzly crosses in the wild.
Yeah, but as the dollar tanks, the tankers will head for Japan to get paid in Yen, just like the Iranians do. That's why president Cheney wants to burn Iran: he wants to eliminate their competition with his Halliburton-built North Poil Kingdom of the Future On Stilts. Once we merge with Canada ( http://www.infowars.net/articles/September2006/280906Union.htm ) it will be Us Against the Russkies again, battling and rattling icebreakers over the North.
