In 5 Years

From the AP: Ominous Arctic Melt Worries Experts
Greenland's ice sheet melted nearly 19 billion tons more than the previous high mark, and the volume of Arctic sea ice at summer's end was half what it was just four years earlier...

...the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012...

Vacations on the Artic sea? Beach front property? Hey, look at the upside. The Russians I hear are secretly thrilled the planet is warming for obvious reasons. They've been fighting to obtain ice free ports for a thousand yrs! Hey, maybe we can pawn off all our SUV's on them??

You got that right. The schemes have been on the cooker for years. If you can't make money on it, then its just not a big enough disaster.

Who will be the first person to swim the Arctic to Russia. Think of the entertainment potential.
