Global warming

The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. The Arctic Ocean could be ice-free in summer by 2060, scientists warn.

There’s an article in todays’ Guardian about Oil companies lining up to survey and possibly exploit the fossil fuel reserves in the Arctic! Ironically, this has been made possible by the fact that Global Warming is causing the Arctic ice to melt; making the oil reserves easier to access!

I think somebody forgot to mention to the oil companies that if the Ice Caps do melt that most of their customers are going to be underwater! Nevermind Beyond Petroleum, this sounds more like Beyond Stupid!
