   The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some   
   places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the   
   Commerce Department yesterday from Consulate, at Bergen , Norway .   
   Reports from fishermen, seal hunters, and explorers all point to a radical   
   change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the   
   Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met   
   as far north    as 81 degrees 29 minutes.   
       
   Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.   
   Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the   
   report continued, while at many points well-known glaciers have entirely   
   disappeared.   
       
   Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast   
   shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north,   
   are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it   
   is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal   
   cities uninhabitable.   
       
       
       
       
   OOPS!   
       
   I'm sorry, I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922,   
   as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post - 90 years ago.   
       
   I checked this out online and it is totally true....
