Well, from the internet, history proves that the “Washington Post” and the Associated Press are always accurate in the reporting of straight news.

It is gratifying and somewhat comforting that we can rely on these left wing liberal institutions to print facts and nothing but the facts in their straight news reporting. In fact, I can sleep better at night knowing that we are in good hands. Below is but one example:

“The Washington Post”:

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 Consul Ifft, 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Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points, well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.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 smelt, 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.

I apologize; did I forget to mention that this report was from:

November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in the “Washington Post”...89 years ago?

‘nuff said!



That’s my story and I am sticking to it.
