Scumbia ...Re<<The north pole is the coldest place in the Northern Hemisphere. If ice at the north pole shows no signs of having melted over 50,000,000 years and it is melted now, the only reasonable conclusion which can be reached is that polar temperatures are at their warmest in 50,000,000 years. <<<<<

Scumbia, I think it would be hard to believe that the polar temperature is close to 32 degrees, as I think it is normally 30 to 50 below there. Surely we would have noticed such a huge increase before this. I can only believe that it is from ocean currents combined with a possible heat source such as underwater volcano, which could easily melt a spot through polar cap. I also believe I read that the Polaris in approx. 1970 came up through the ice cap near north pole; so having a thin ice cap at points is normal rather than once in a 50.000,000 yr. thing. Maybe it has never happened there before, but maybe the volcano didn't either. No flames, just guessing.
