Here's a funny one

The Arctic is thought to hold some 90bn barrels of untapped oil, equal to Russia's total known reserves, the US Geological Survey (USGS) has claimed.

The USGS says the area has three times as much untapped natural gas as oil.

.....

Exploration companies believe the recent rapid ice melt in the Arctic may make it easier to get reserves out of the region.

So "Global Warming" has made it easier to extract more fossil fuels? Sorted!

Time to get me a big gas guzzler.

I used to think that all the best people for running the country were either cutting hair or driving taxis. Now I realise they ditched that and became contractors

Strange, but kind of true - they pump sea water into the oil field to keep the pressure up and increase the amount they can extract

Not sure if they could pump enough down there to save East Anglia though

The Oil cos are champing at the bit to get into the arctic, it's REALLY expensive to get at a lot of the remaining oil in the world but the Arctic stuff is relatively easy pickings.

Bad news if you're a penguin though.

Plus a few that hang round Lubetkin's pool in Regent's Park.
