Arctic retreating faster than ever

The Arctic is melting at a faster rate than ever before

tipping point my arse.at lowest level since satellite records began. oh no, we have a whole 30 years of data to fall back on, thats empirical analysis for a planet thats had humans on for oh 10,000 years.

I'm sure we are having an adverse effect on the climate, but all this sound bite doomsaying is not helping get the message across at all.

The iconography of polar bears unable to find ice is by now familiar; but other species, including seals, would also face drastic changes to their habitat, as would many Arctic peoples.

Poor Seely

Epic agreed.

Isn't it obvious?
FRENCH ICE!

Hahaha!

Spot on!

Did they blame greenhouse effects, cars, pollution and gerbils already?

Pooie and poppycock, butbet Gorb has a doomsday theory about it

I fail to see what this has to do with Warhammer. Please get back on topic!

 

[Binky the Bomb]

We've got the Arctic on the run, CHARGE!

Tohtori you're a....... a dickwad? hmm. k.

Anyway. I dont know what to believe in the GW debate anymore. Its gotten so confusing with everyone telling me different things. We'll see.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Gorb can't take a joke? Well...hmm....k :lol:

Ablation and calving at the arctic is nowhere near as drastic as at the Antarctic. The effects are just seen more by the Northern Hemispheric countries as they have borders at the Arctic, those ownership border arguments don't exist as much down south, where the Antarctic Treaty is in effect where the effects are even worse.

I personally would argue that you can't own what is essentially fractious icebergs (calving can only happen to icebergs, which aren't considered stable, whereas glaciers which ablate can.)

The border argument in the arctic is nowhere near as severe as it might get when we get low on reserves that Antarctica can provide - that's where a superpower struggle will evolve.

There is little doubt GW is happening. Let's get that LHC to settle the argument and DOOM US ALL.
