This happens all the time and no one learns anything from the experience because dogma trumps science. And environmentalism trumps reality. So here we go again.
A group of climate clowns were planning on sailing around the entire Arctic Ocean through the Northeast and Northwest Passages (to prove there isn’t any ice in the Arctic) but are stuck in Murmansk because the Northeast Passage is completely blocked with ice.
It is July 20, and they haven’t made it to the Arctic yet.
The Polar Ocean Challenge is taking a two month journey that will see them go from Bristol, Alaska, to Norway, then to Russia through the North East passage, back to Alaska through the North West passage, to Greenland and then ultimately back to Bristol. Their objective, as laid out by their website, was to demonstrate “that the Arctic sea ice coverage shrinks back so far now in the summer months that sea that was permanently locked up now can allow passage through.”
They demonstrated something alright. But don't worry. They'll just argue that the ice was planted there by oil companies or that the ice was caused by global warming.
