This was predicted in a Washington Post article in November 1922!
Upon checking this out with the renowned left leaning Snopes.com, we found it is true.
Amazing that such a calamity was predicted to befall us in the early 20th century and didn’t, but is now again predicted in the early 21st century, using similar data but now determined to be due to human activity.
The Article says the following:
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 Consulafft, 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 Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.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! Never mind. This report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the Associated Press and published in the Washington Post – 88 years ago!
The data for the article came from a November 1922 NOAA publication. It is still in the NOAA archives.
