Scientists Report Ironic Positive Effect of Global Warming

In an ironic twist scientists investigating the effects of global warming at the north pole report that there may be a positive effect occuring.
It is known that the oceans of the world are instrumental in the absorption of carbons in the atmosphere. The worlds oceans combined can absorb almost 50% of the total amount of CO2 emissions that we humans are pumping into the atmosphere each year. In order to do this the oceans have to be thawed. If they are frozen they lose the ability to perform this function. The ice caps in the North Pole have shrunk by about 25% in the last 30 years. Ironically this has been a positive effect in terms of thawing more ocean water and freeing it up to reduce more carbons in the atmosphere thereby reducing the greenhouse effect.
Scientists are warning everyone about feeling too positive about it. They further stress that this beneficial effect will be meaningless if the ice caps continue to melt and raise the water levels around the world and flood us all in ice cold water.
