The North Pole

[BobDrye]

This summer could be the first time in modern history that there will be no ice above the north pole.

 

Man made warming?

 

Volcanoes?

well, this one doesn't seem "man-made". The only part you hear in the headline news though is "no ice on north pole. sky is falling :willy: "

Well I would have to agree.

What most people do not realize is the North Pole Ice cap is usually only 3 to 10 feet thick at any given time during a normal year and can be as thin as a couple of inches due to ice shifts caused by wave actions under the ice.
