The North Pole is melting.
The thick ice that has for ages covered the Arctic Ocean at the pole has turned to water, recent visitors there reported yesterday. At least for the time being, an ice-free patch of ocean about a mile wide has opened at the very top of the world, something that has presumably never before been seen by humans and is more evidence that global warming may be real and already affecting climate.
The last time scientists can be certain the pole was awash in water was more than 50 million years ago.
Here are some humans who saw it in 1959, which is less than 50 million years ago.
17 March 1959
Again, no modest research of the “50 million years ago” throw away comment either. If they’d looked they would quickly have seen that the Arctic ice only showed up between 3 and 4 million years ago, and as recent as 5,000 years ago, there were still periods of ice free summers.
Well, those were military personnel, and the NYT don’t believe that the US military are human.
50 million years ago – I guess NYT years are like dog years. Except even more of them to human years. Which kind of begs the question – what exactly are the things running the NYT?

Openings in the ice all over the Arctic occur occasionally called “polyanas”.
Which means that the statement:
has a problem??? Read this and you will see why the statement is still wrong.
Laurence Crossen,

Laurence Crossen,
Read this. [Get tea and cookies first] 😉
Laurence Crossen,
Read this.
And finally Laurence Crossen,
Read this. Polyanas have little relevance in an ice free Arctic ocean in the summer. Have a nice day. 😉
Since y’all ain’t watched Das Boot, a movie, you painstakingly now promote a mistaken crooked-elbow geek anti-paradise, fellow fat-ass comrade breeder buffoons, all around and two times flat.
Oh look! Nerd Town Paradise.
“I could live there!”
Say you.
Do not let intuition or love to enter onto your heart!
Old fart.
That would not be “smart.”
Shame is painted on you, useless worker bee, and grand pappie.
Voting about the weather?
This wont even go down in history.
Bookmarking this thread to shove down the throats of anyone that cites the New York Slimes ever again. As many have pointed out, the statement: “The last time scientists can be certain the pole was awash in water was more than 50 million years ago.” is insane. Even Omni magazine was more scientific.
If you follow the link Steve put up there you will see that the NY Slimes added a wordy correction! Here it is …
Not very clear is it? Vague and obsfucating. They should have just said ‘we screwed the pooch on that 50 million years thing, our bad‘. But the New York Slimes cannot do that. The fifth columnists employed by this domestic enemy newspaper do not have the ability to admit error. Have a look at the re-written article …
Yes, AGW all the time, 24/7/365. When the lights go out for the last time at this so-called newspaper, the USA and the world will be a better place.
