The Northwest Passage
The melting of Arctic sea ice has caused the North West Passage to open up again. The Northwest Passage is a sea route through the Arctic Ocean along the northern coast of North America via the waterways amidst the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The various islands of the archipelago are separated from one another and the Canadian mainland by a series of Arctic waterways collectively known as the Northwest Passages or Northwestern Passages. How about some other voyages: 1940 Canadian RCMP officer Henry Larsen I blame it on man made global warming. Except for 1903-06, 1940, 1957, and 1977. Fortunately The BBC knows the real truth. The most direct shipping route from Europe to Asia is fully clear of ice for the first time since records began, the European Space Agency (Esa) says.I guess no one was monitoring it in 1903-06,1940, 1957, and 1977. Too bad. They might have seen some interesting things about. Update: 16 Sept 007 1321z Evidently this is not the first time in the 21st Centiry the BBC has found an opening.

I think there's a form of Young Earth Creationism, or perhaps Last Thursdayism, at work here.
For purposes of alarmist reporting, the universe was created on January 20, 2001. Nothing happened before that - not the first World Trade Center bombing, not navigation of the Northwest Passage, not the Dust Bowl. Everything bad that's happened in the short life of the universe is therefore unprecedented.
And - the universe not having existed prior to his taking office - Bush is by definition the worst President ever.
