1. I can skate to Russia from my house…

2. I live in Ontario, and I can probably skate to Russia too. Great Lakes are frozen over. Can certainly ski to Russia, anyway.

3. And Russians can reciprocate.

4. “Oh Suzanna..”
   In a couple of months, unprecedented ice melt, warming like never before..
   Perhaps we need to que Tiny Tim and that creepy performance art, The Ice Caps are Melting.
   I keep looking at the likes of Hansen, Mann, Smidt and wondering, did their parents leave them exposed to this “Art” when they were in play school?
   Or worse, what if they were amongst the children on stage?

5. I am concerned about an overpopulation of polar bears with this increase of ice. Something must be done!

6. Gee I remember when it was “don’t eat the yellow snow”.
   Everything has gone all purple now!

7. Syncro;
   You skate and I’ll Ski-doo, I’ll carry some gas for the Ukraine.
   I’ll Ski-doo

8. What syncrodox said.
   But, what are you going to believe, your lying eyes or the new true AGW religion?

9. If you squint really hard you can see a trade route for shipping. We need a world wide sales tax to stop this, its the only way.

10. look how linear the arctic island channels are from this angle. like a checkerboard

11. If the ongoing battle against global warming isn’t soon stopped we’re all going to freeze to death.

12. Kate, what is the source of this image? Please post image link.

13. @north of 60:
    Source of map = http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/
    This is also a good source of ice maps & info:

14. New research, reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that the steam and heat from volcanoes may have allowed many plant and animal species to survive past Ice Ages.

15. thanks David

16. Yummy! Purple ice cubes!

17. Oh oh. The fledgling Norse colonies on the west coast of Greenland could be in trouble if we can’t get the trade ships through before they run out of last year’s preserves…
