Kiss Canada's Sweet Arctic Ice Shelves Goodbye

Nineteen square miles of Canada's Arctic ice shelves broke off a few days ago, the third massive ice shelf break for Canada in the past month and a half. Which, added to the fact that new research indicates that warmer oceans make for more ruthless storms, (think Gustav, Hanna, Ike and Josephine, people) has inspired me to put my MBA to work by investing in death carts and lunatic end-of-the-world preachers. "Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!" At least all those marketing classes will come in handy.

Lol!!

On a more serious note, Greenland's ice caps are retreating as well, and that spells trouble for the world's coastal cities, whcih could be deluged by a 7 to 20 foot rise in the oceans. (http://tinyurl.com/55zm96)

And Arctic sea ice is melting at a faster clip than ice in other parts of the world. (http://tinyurl.com/6hmm7n)
