If this continues, then all the low lying islands and countries will submerge under water.

I think the take away-message is that while it was occasionally clear in the past, it’s only now starting to become consistently navigable.

Just a little over 100 years ago the Norwegian Roald Amundsen made the first contemporary (and one of the very few) ship voyages through the Northwest Passage, so we know that 100 years ago it was clear enough of ice to navigate and we also know that for most of the past 100 years it was not navigable.

Until someone with some credibility like Rush Limbaugh or Papa Bear O’Reilly steps up to do a documentary (with much better production values than whatever it was Gore put out), I will continue to be skeptical!
