Sentence: Dr. Arky Bohta had created a safe haven in Savannah, Georgia, for sufferers of what he called Bipolaricity. Since the accidental onset and melting of the two polar icecaps the psychiatrist had been meticulously documenting the increasing mood swings and paranoia of his patients. His theory was that because the human body is more than 85% water the creeping and cruising of encroaching icebergs was the reason. However, on a hot and muggy summer's day, as two ice bergs from the South and North approached Key West and the Mason-Dixon line, he noted there was high and enthusiastic response during a group brainstorming session when one patient proposed brewing and bottling something called "BiPolar Ice Tea."

Etymology: Using BIPOLAR, the psychological term for severe mood disorders with the two (North and South) or bi (from L.) poles

Pronunciation: glow ball warn ing

Sentence: Globalwarning of rapid carbon release from the earth should encourage measures such as a return to using renewable energy sources such as water power, wind power, even solar power. Certain industries and populations must reduce their carbon emissions, or we will continue to see ocean water levels rise, bizarre weather; and ultimately experience continued loss of animal and human life...leading to extinction.

Etymology: From the words "globalwarming" and "warning". A term that warns that our problem of globalwarming needs immediate attention and change over to using "green", earth-friendly energies. This is our globalwarning!

Pronunciation: ICE berg ler ee

Sentence: The government has had to impose sanctions against many of the big companies who are contributing most to pollution and CO2 levels, since they don't care if it causes global warming, melting of icebergs, and rising sea levels 50 years from now. Why should they care? None of those people will be around! Basically their actions (or inaction) should probably be termed an iceburglary. Although speculating on future oceanfront properties in the Adirondacks might not be a bad idea....
