Artic Inuits blame US when snowmobiles fall through the ice

Last night, before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the Center for International Environmental Law announced a complaint on behalf of Arctic Inuit peoples against the United States "for causing global warming and its devastating impacts."
And what are the devastating impacts?
"Apparently their snowmobiles are falling through the ice," relays Christopher C. Horner, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, who is attending this week's global-warming negotiations in Buenos Aires.
"Leaving aside for the moment this action's legal merits (there are none), a remarkable approach to oral argument on this case was tried at a Monday night event publicizing a report underpinning this complaint," Mr. Horner tells this column.
The speaker was Dr. Robert Corell, "most famous for his steady hand guiding the conveniently timed November 2000 'National Assessment on Climate Change,' a compendium of scary climate stories released by the Clinton-Gore administration," he says.
"According to Dr. Corell, it seems that the Inuits, who he boasts have lived a subsistence lifestyle just as their ancestors have done for 9,000 years, now have that cold, hand-to-mouth bliss threatened by global warming."
