Global Warming?

Is it true that the Arctic Ocean ice is receding to the point that the fabled Northwest Passage is now a possibility? Is it true that the North Pole will soon be open water during the summer months if the present rate of sea ice melt continues? Is it true that (according to Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center) Glacier National Park's glaciers are retreating to the point that they will be entirely gone by 2030? Is it true that thousands of acres of northern pine forests are being destroyed by beetles that were previously kept in lower elevations by the cold? Is it true that thousands of acres of permafrost is melting across the Northern hemisphere resulting in huge quagmires and sinkholes and the release of ancient trapped methane? Is it true that The Patagonia Ice fields of Chile and Argentina are retreating at unprecedented rates releasing huge volumes of fresh water into the oceans? Is it true that Greenland's glaciers are melting to the point that large streams of water can be seen flowing freely through huge crevasses in the ice? Is it true that ice cores from Greenland dating back 400,000 years show that greenhouse gases have correlated to warming and cooling trends in Earth's weather patterns and accurately tracked major gas increases like volcanic eruptions and industrialization?
