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Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones,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 smelt 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.

This report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post - 96 years ago.

Great find! Reads like it was published yesterday.
Snow's falling again here south of Portland. Love it here... just enough weather to give you seasons, not enough to fry or freeze your butt off.
One tomato plant on the patio wilted a bit last night from the extreme sub 50 degree drop.
My biggest complaint about global climate has always been about confusing weather with trend.
Weather is hard. Climate is even harder. Much harder than the travel of the distant stars. 1922 to 2018 is merely a blink of mother nature's eye.
Good Morning!
Even money this morning, 0F 26F high today. Snow still on the ground since before Christmas.
I still can't get over going into the ice age in the 1970's. Not sure how much man made pollution has to do with it.
Winds scrubbed the launch. Tomorrow looks good.
Too bad on launch. I reduce you can see it.
Geologists said we are in interval, in the middle of the most recent ice age. Ok.. would like to know how they know.
Deduce
That's the overriding point, isn't it - How DO they know?
Data generally leads to an Educated Guess. I'm not afraid of them studying but keep the Al Gore profiteers out of it. Show me how to reduce pollution with out ship it's production to the rest of the world and turn a blind eye. Politics ruins everything it touches.
This is what it looked like last time:

Obviously much closer.
But it's 70 years before the hockey stick
Our light pipes are in
Natural sunlight is bright. Next replacing rotten boards on the 2nd floor and painting. Next replacing the innards of a bathroom, and half the innards of the other one. After that, I'm sure there will be other things
after that.
After that, I think we'll let the place rot. A house is a hobby, not a financial investment.
That report could have been written 10 to 20 thousand years ago when the ice sheet covering Canada, parts of the US and northern Europe started to retreat.
Would some one dig me up and tell me how it all worked out? :)
Dunno. Permafrost and a half mile of ice might make that tough.
Dig yourself in where you think ice won't reach!
They tell me there is no ice in hell. Is that true?
One of the branches of one of my patio tomato plants got a little cold burn so while ice is uncommon, freezing is not unknown. Keep in mind that due to an extraordinary psyops campaign most people know SoCal is hell on earth. Don't do anything to mess with the game.
I remember getting up early to go surfing and had ice on the windshield once. =:0
Two thousand years later, humans have become extinct, and Manhattan is buried under glacial ice. The Mecha have evolved into an advanced, intelligent, silicon-based form. They find David and Teddy, and discover they are original Mecha that knew living humans, making them special.
I'm so proud of the marching teenagers. good morning.
It's not so bad, being extinct; it's all the accompanying mess that's bad.
Good Morning!
21F heat wave! Oh wait 23F high and another 1" of snow. We are almost a double the normal amount today.
So if we make a real mess of the world it will over heat or freeze, correct or start over again in a different manor.
Nice launch. Took a picture. I will upload and share once I get exiled to the shed.
How does the exile procedure work?
Mts Dawg watches good morning America as she answers emails and schedules patients. That’s my cue to grab some coffee and get scarce for a bit.
I have to give Musk credit as his rocket program is well under way unlike the rest of his big ideas. How much pollution does his rockets make? Tailpipe sniffers want to know.
Can't notice it on the space coast.
Not much but a picture in the new post.
Usually with a question like 'do these pants make my butt look big?"
