Finally a northwest passage
September 29, 2005Well I don’t know why all these nay-sayers are whining about the disappearing Arctic ice sheet. Once all that nasty ice is melted we’ll finally have a true navigable Northwest Passage.
Seriously, it seems a little early to be too worried. Nature has some long cycles–look at the 11-year sun spot cycle. S0 just because the ice sheet has retreated four straight years doesn’t mean it’s time to panic yet. It could be a perfectly natural cycle, we don’t have enough years of data to really know yet.
Of course by the time we’ve confirmed what’s happening it could be way too late.
