Global Warming Study Cancelled Because of ‘Unprecedented’ Ice

A global warming research study in Canada has been cancelled because of “unprecedented” thick summer ice.

Naturally, the scientist in charge has blamed it on ‘climate change.’

According to Vice:

The study, entitled BaySys, is a $17-million four-year-long program headed by the University of Manitoba. It was planning to conduct the third leg of its research by sending 40 scientists from five Canadian universities out into the Bay on the Canadian Research Icebreaker CCGS Amundsen to study “contributions of climate change and regulation on the Hudson Bay system.”

But it had to be cancelled because the scientists’ icebreaker was required by the Canadian Coast Guard for a rather more urgent purpose – rescuing fishing boats and supply ships which had got stuck in the “unprecedented ice conditions”.

“It became clear to me very quickly that these weren’t just heavy ice conditions, these were unprecedented ice conditions,” Dr. David Barber, the lead scientist on the study, told VICE. “We were finding thick multi-year sea ice floes which on level ice were five metres thick… it was much, much thicker and much, much heavier than anything you would expect at that latitude and at that time of year.”

Clearly not one to let a crisis go to waste, Barber seized the opportunity to perform the usual alarmist clown dance for the media, explaining why this incident definitely shows that global warming is a major problem and deserving of our urgent attention.

Because of that revelation from Dr. Barber, I just turned my freezer up to 65 degrees...

It is high time for the warmists to start paying for their numerous “studies” and to stop sponging off of the taxpayers.

My guess is that if they had to pay for them there would not be any.

I love clear, concise explanations. Thank you.

I thought all the ice was supposed to be gone by now - does Al Gore know about this?

I guess that once again reality didn’t match the narrative. I’m assuming the experts were surprised.

The only way to eliminate climate change is to remove all the water from the surface of the planet.

Let’s see..hmmm...maybe $5 trillion would reduce the ice thickness from 5 meters to 4.99 meters? That should do it. Everybody reach deep into your pockets now. Starving scientists need your support.

But, then the left will whine and wail about Anthropomorphic GlowBull Climate Sameness.

I remember back in the early 70’sup in the Boston area..I was working with my father in residential construction....it was late January, normally the coldest time of the year...we were slated to build a new home, but knew we couldn’t start until March, when the frost line was gone to dig and pour the foundation.

Low and behold, the temperature started rising and then we got the forecast for 3 WEEKS of 70 plus degree temps. That was the first and only foundation we ever poured in January/February in Boston. BTW...this was right about the time Newsweek, etc. were screaming about GLOBAL COOLING!!

Climate change is real, it changes all the time!!!

At least they didn’t get stuck this time and cost 6 million rescuing them.
