Exotic animals are invading former ice shelves.
“Exotic animals,” such as “spindly orange sea stars” and “roving sea cucumbers,” have been “spied off the Antarctic coast in an area formerly covered by ice,” which has disappeared from global warming. “Since 1974, 5,213 square miles of ice shelves have disintegrated in the Antarctic Peninsula.”

Holy shit!
The Antarctic is turning into Bikini Bottom!
February 26th, 2007 at 10:46 amliberal lies! these Hollywood sea cucumbers are voluntarily moving! They’re better off in this new environment anyways. You know, the same way NO residents were ‘better off’ on a gymnasium floor.
when will you progs learn
February 26th, 2007 at 10:48 amThey must like all the heat the ‘urban heat island’ of Antarctica is putting out. ^_^
February 26th, 2007 at 10:49 amIs this a good thing or bad?
February 26th, 2007 at 10:50 amThat was a good one Zooey…..Think I will go and get a bunch more trees to plant……Blessings
February 26th, 2007 at 10:50 amBy the by, the area is about that of Conneticutt.
February 26th, 2007 at 10:51 amThat should be Connecticut.
February 26th, 2007 at 10:57 amOf course, Connecticut has some shame to deal with.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:04 amMe too Sharon ~ palm trees and orchids!
February 26th, 2007 at 11:12 amAnimals and sea life adapt to changing environmental conditions. Changing weather patterns means movement of species into other areas too.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:16 amGod is punishing the indigenious peoples of Antarctica for all their feminism and respect for human life! Praise Jeebus
February 26th, 2007 at 11:23 amWWMCD?
February 26th, 2007 at 11:29 amRU, are you thinking of the tropical island’s on this dreary cold Monday.? One neighbor does have small palm trees another has a huge hot house with orchid’s…..I’m into the ceders and fruit trees….How was your week end? We had hail and colder again…No banana belt breeze north of you…..Blessings ongoing..
February 26th, 2007 at 11:32 amThis is a Saturday Night Live skit, right?
February 26th, 2007 at 12:19 pmThere may be another Ice Age just around the corner… No one knows with any degree of certainty… If humans want to lower their negative impact on the earth’s environment, all they have to do is stop reproducing… Or at least cut back by 90% to 99%… The phony gutless Sierra Club and other so-called “environmental” groups just don’t want to talk about the real problem: human over-population and human population growth.
Cheers.

Yes, and you have to be funny to be on this thread.
February 26th, 2007 at 12:26 pmSo, you have to go….
Thanks Zooey, I knew this was moonbat satire.
February 26th, 2007 at 12:28 pmExactly. The sad reality is, humans are living longer and healthier lives, with lower death rates and increased reproduction. Religion and other beliefs are blocking the general public from realizing WE’RE JUST ANIMALS, and as with any other species, we can and will reproduce for survival. Ironically, our survival instinct to reproduce is exactly what is killing us, coupled with our lack of environmental awareness. I love how naysayers on global warming deny it. Think about this, what happens when someone runs his or her car in a closed garage? The world, like a small room, only has some much capacity for pollution. When humanity cuts down the very things that recycle CO emissions by unregulated and scrupulous logging and suburban sprawl, coupled with excessive pollution from automobiles and energy consumption, it is only logical for an imbalance of nature. When [not if] the ice caps melt, the oceanic belt WILL chance due to swift alteration in oceanic salinity, causing a literal reversing of global temperature between the equator and poles, as well as a rise in sea level (which is imminent now).
In the end, who cares about the economy, the newest car or gadget, civil rights or even a war when THERE IS NO PLANET TO LIVE ON FOR THESE THINGS TO OCCUR? All the deniers beware; I would rather err on the side of caution than take such a huge risk. Keep in mind, this planet can purge humanity at any time, we’re just a blip on it’s radar. In the end, denial will be a glacier floating in your backyards.
PEACE.
February 26th, 2007 at 1:31 pmI love this web site, but you all need to read this one a little more carefully – these species haven’t suddenly ‘appeared’ in the Antarctic. They’ve been there – we just couldn’t get to see them under all the ice.
February 26th, 2007 at 2:21 pmThanks Zooey, I knew this was moonbat satire.
