The Arctic is warming at twice the global rate

Great. Word on the street is that the polar bears may go extinct as ice melts. Not a big surprise. CNN/Reuters reports:

OSLO, Norway (Reuters) – Global warming is heating the Arctic almost twice as fast as the rest of the planet in a thaw that threatens millions of livelihoods and could wipe out polar bears by 2100, an eight-nation report said on Monday.

Yeah! Kill those damned polar bears!! Who needs em? I mean, ask yourself “what have the polar bears done for me lately?”. I mean really, it’s just a big chunk of ice right? Right!? Yeah, we’ll show the rest of the world, follow our lead! We don’t need no stinkin Kyoto Accord.

Go team.
