Morning Edition Arctic Series (Oh! Canada! )

NPR's Morning Edition is running a 6 part series of reports on the Arctic. It started this morning.

"The Arctic may be the world's next geopolitical battleground. Temperatures there are rising faster than anywhere else in the world, and the melting ice will have profound consequences on the roof of the world, opening strategic waterways to shipping, reducing the ice cap on Greenland, and spurring a rush to claim rights to the wealth of natural resources that lie beneath. NPR examines what's at stake, who stands to win and lose, and how this could alter the global dynamic."

Does anyone think the HAARP project in Glakona Alaska could be affecting the rapid melting? In 1996, I produced a radio show for Dr. Gary Null on this project. It seems to be still going on. There is an excellent vidio about it - Holes in Heaven.

Does anyone think that the acceleration of melting could be connected to the HAARP Project in Gakona, Alaska? I produced a radio show for Dr. Gary Null on this project in 1995 and it looks like the project is still active and funded by Congress. It was originally part of Star Wars and is based on a Tesla patent which I believe is now held by our military. It heats up the ionosphere and there's an excellent video about it,Holes in Heaven.
