This is serious Steven! I had a missing ice cube threaten my glass of tea once.
Okay, I admit I stole the ice cube for my margarita, but I am returning it because I don’t drink margaritas when the air temp is under 85 degrees. And, in NA, that appears to be a long time away.
(OT, but whatever happened to Mike xxxxcola? I don’t remember the x’s, but he was a retired astronomer that knew IR really well, and commented here often.)
Sanicola. Dunno, there doesn’t seem to be anything after Jan 27th of this year about him.
Thanks Stark. Yeah, Sanicola, that’s what it was.
Try to find Mike Sanicola at hyzercreek.com/hillofshizzle.htm he seems to know people there

Do Not try to talk them out of it. This is natural selection in action.
Like the suicidal fish, it is probably due to the “ocean acidity” causing these women to lose their sense of self preservation. So you see, CO2 is to blame.
Whatever you do, don’t send money.
Andy Oz,
We need to find Reggie, this lady will need some help, he can donate his blow torch!
Dave N found Reggie’s blowtorch some time ago. 😀

Oops, my bad….So that’s where my slice off the 9th tee at the Greenland Country Club ended up. Thanks Steve!

Not just their sense of fear but feeling ability to move arms and legs then breath air . Then the acidic water will take the hair right off there heads . :>(
I’d like to see their encounter with these chaps.

Interestingly, there’s a theory that occasionally Greenland Sharks make their way into Loch Ness, accounting for Loch Ness monster sightings.
The only problem I see for the Arctic ice at the end of next summer is the level of solar radiations- it has been a bit too high recently.
OTOH, the Atlantic has been colder recently than in the corresponding periods of 2013 and previous years,

This should be enough for the rate of melting to be similar to last year’s, or even 2005/06.
The present relatively fast melting,

is entirely due to high solar radiations.
There’s no such (plural) word as radiations. Or softwares. Or informations. Etc.
