Thus, is this MORON G**D*** LIAR trying to make us believe that ice "two metres thick" (6.56 Feet) will NOT hold a polar bear?

Fixed it. ;-)

The article didn't specify where he and his crew were in the Beaufort Sea. Was it in a location where there was new ice - i.e., ice that was there in 2009 but not in 2008?

If so, then he merely found out that ice formed within the previous year can't be multi-year ice.

Shermy, you and your cynical cohorts are simply not taking the science seriously enough on this catastrophic Global Warming.

Several weeks ago, I was sailing back to St. Petersburg on a dark and stormy moonless night after a very long affair at my cousin's restaurant in Tampa and we kept bumping into what must have been the rotting carcasses of dead polar bears every damned foot of the way.

The energy sources (Green, of course) for this harrowing voyage were ethanol and wind power, and I did stay at a Holiday Inn, so I know what I am talking about, ecologically speaking.

What you, ( the taxpayer, any taxpayer from any nation), needs is " rotten ice " insurance.

That's right, for a mere ______ ( insert monetary unit here) , per household, you'll be doing what's needed to combat the scourge of rotten ice.

They won’t be able to find new data as it gets colder so they will have to use the summer data for years now.
