This website pisses me off every time i try to check their sources. Why did they even put sources in if they were going to blatantly lie about what they contain.

Their caption reads "* The following pictures are of U.S. submarines surfacing at the North Pole in March of 1959 and August of 1962:"

Notice that the real description from http://navsource.org/archives/08/08578.htm does not actually say anything about the north pole

This is what the pictures of the north pole look like

On 17 March 1959, Skate (SSN-578) surfaced at the North Pole to commit the ashes of the famed explorer Sir Hubert Wilkins to the Arctic waste.

They might of well of put a picture like this up, since they are deliberately trying to deceive readers

It is understandable that many people can't believe that we puny humans could possibly have a big impact on the environment. My parents used to refer with reverence and awe to "the inexhaustible sea"......

My favorite example is the line (paraphrased) from Larry McMurtry's characters, Jim Ragg and Bartle Bone, a pair of unlikely mountain men in a typical discussion.

"Remember when we used to be able to catch a 100 Beav' in a winter right here at this bend in the river?  We been coming here for 30 years or more and now we can't hardly find a one anymore?  What happened to 'em all?"
