So there are lots of stories out this week about the unprecedented melting going on at the North Pole. I’m still waiting for the first second scientist to come right out and say, “Yup, we told you this was going to happen. Now the Earth is going to absorb way more sun, which will heat the oceans, and trigger a massive climate shift.”

I think it’s obvious by now that we’re all pretty-much screwed at this point. So smoke-’em-if-you-got-’em people, and let’s live out the rest of our days squabbling over the Northwest passage. At least Canada will end up with more land…until the U.S. decides to annex our arctic. I hereby extend an official invitation to Gisele Bündchen to come live out her days up here in the sunny arctic with us
