Ok, that's all for now....

Anyway, the change in albedo in the North Sea will likely accelerate the erosion of the Labradoran ice sheet, dumping vast amounts of cold, low saline water into the Labrador Sea. Combined with the input of high saline, warm water from the Med. this could lead to increasing evaporation of surface waters in the arctic, by causing wetter winters, more snowfalls and potential continental snow accumulation leading to continental ice sheet formation, i.e. Ice Age. This may be compounded by the disruption of the Gulf Stream conveyor, which brings warmer "maritime" climate especially to northern Europe and Great Britain.

Or not....

If I still lived in Chicago I'd think about making (or getting somebody else to make) a little styrofoam ice floe about 6 ft square with a styrofoam polar bear lying on his back, obviously dead, paws stretched out in the air. Have to weight it on the bottom to keep it upright, but if you floated something like that under the commuter bridges that go to Union and NW Stations at the right time on a summer day, hundreds of people per minute would see it.

Think I know who would make a bear like that, at cost.

You wouldn't have happened to major in marketing, would you. ;) Really, though, that would catch my attention. Though, I'd say get a few hundred of those bad-boys made, drop them into Lake Michigan, and have the news helicopters have a field day with 'em. I like the way you think.
