Great news for international shipping!

Maybe the Panamanians don't need to bother widening their canal after all, nature has re-opened a short-cut between the North Atlantic and the North Pacific.

Update. Via Devil's Kitchen, comes this valuable bit of research from Freeborn John. Follow the links, I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise!

From http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/northwest_passage_ice_sinks_to_new_low/ (with links):

"The low level of arctic ice, of course, has all the global warming zealots really concerned. But what’s funny is that it has also just been announced that Antartica has ice extent at a level not seen since 1979.

What’s really funny, however, is that the Associated Press and the rest of the media are only picking up on one of these stories.

Gee, I wonder why that is?"
