The biggest winners will be big pharma, because they will be able to
find new markets for their medication for bi polar disorder......

That is the image that always comes to my mind when I hear
the term bipolar, except for the bears.

A polar bear can be changed to a rectangular bear via coordinate transform.
My goodness.
A work of sheer genius Brian!
What you been at?

I understand it's more than just an evacuation. It's a race to
evacuate them
The bears are already in pole position <groan>

Could be the start of a new "bear market" in the southern hemisphere.
I recommend opening a large position in this stock:

I hear it's going to be hot.
The East Antarctic ice sheet, which makes up three-quarters of the
continent's 14,000 sq km, is losing around 57bn tonnes of ice a year into
surrounding waters, according to a satellite survey of the region.
Scientists had thought the ice sheet was reasonably stable, but measurements
taken from Nasa's gravity recovery and climate experiment (Grace) show that
it started to lose ice steadily from 2006.
The measurements suggest the polar continent could soon contribute more to
global sea level rises than Greenland, which is shedding more than 250bn
tonnes of ice a year, adding 0.7mm to annual sea level rises.
Satellite data from the whole of Antarctica show the region is now losing
around 190bn tonnes of ice a year. Uncertainties in the measurements mean
the true ice loss could be between 113bn and 267bn tonnes.

Chen said that warmer ocean waters may have triggered the melting by seeping
under the ice sheet and making it slide more easily over the rock it rests
on.
Writing in the journal Nature Geoscience, Chen's team reports that Wilkes
Land on the East Antarctic ice sheet was stable until 2006, but has since
begun to lose ice. Another region on the ice sheet, Enderby Land, was
thickening until 2006, but has since started to melt. "We're seeing these
kinds of climate change effects all around the world now,"

Australia poised for 'exceptional' Emissions Trading Scheme Deal
"There are times in our national politics when all Australians require us to
reach beyond the normal partisan divide and to frame an agreement in the
national interest. Mr Speaker I believe we have reached such a time in
Australia," PM Rudd said.
