Dear CNN: "Lowest On Record"...
...is not the same as "Lowest Ever"

"That's important because the Arctic acts as a refrigerator for the globe."
What the hell is that even supposed to mean?
That is even more ignorant than the notion that rain forests are the lungs of the planet.

All this talk about about melting Arctic ice and yet nobody has even mentioned the current upsurge in volcanic activity in the Aleutians.
