1952 Shock News : Melting Glaciers To Drown Coastal Cities

Melting Ice May Swamp Seaports

CLEVELAND. February 18.— Dr. William S. Carlson, an Arctic expert, said last night that polar ice caps were melting at an astonishing and unexplained rate, and threatening to swamp seaports by raising ocean levels.

“The glaciers of Norway and Alaska are only half the size they were 50 years ago. The temperature around Spitzbergen has so modified that the sailing time has lengthened from three to eight months of the year”

    But…but…these 1952 observations offered by arctic expert Dr. Carlson were not vetted nor peer reviewed. I also noted there was no mention of a Nobel, Pulitzer or Oscar and certainly no all-important concensus; therefore, this story doesn’t exist. ///

    According to the NC Coastal Resources Commisssion ‘Science’ Panel, historical data is; “not scientifically valid, nor useful for understanding the changes that MAY challenge the economic vitality of the coastal region in the future.”

    Shame on Dr Calson… ///

    Free Peter Gleick!!!

    Is there a lesson in there somewhere that, despite the dire predictions, in 60 years no city has been lost to the sea or even affected to a significant extent by sea level rise?
