    maybe but the EPA is powerless anyway and has been for years.
    the best and brightest go work for the corps not the epa. no budget plus when push comes to shove they move out of the way.

    Temperatures near the North Pole are an unheard of 36°F (20°C) warmer than average right now, researchers have reported.

    The Arctic is currently in the midst of polar night, where the Sun hardly ever rises. Usually, it’s the time when things get really cold and vast, thick ice sheets form for the winter.

    But this year, temperatures are much warmer than usual – while the weather stations around the North Pole record the biggest difference, even in parts of Arctic Russia, temperatures are up to 12.6°F (7°C) warmer.



    ...

    "We are used to measuring temperature records in fractions of a degree, and so this is different."

    ...

    "So far the lowest daily high temperature this season is 22°F [–5.6°C], which shows a remarkable absence of cold," he writes.

    "The most similar year in the past was 1998, when the coldest day through mid-November had a high temperature of 15°F [–9.5°C]."

    That's it. Money now is more important than a future for humanity. Disgusting.

    Climate change will be a hoax devised by the Chinese right up until it isn't and then it will be Obama's fault.

    Peace

    So this article that you posted today is at least a week or two old if we are being generous. While I agree that we are fucked and our polar regions are warming faster please post accurate data so the creationists climate deniers have less ammunition.
