‘We had expected more melting’: Thick Arctic ice forces Norwegian climate research icebreaker to turn back
...
Global warming research ship forced to retreat due to 'massive' Arctic sea ice! "The ship will monitor the environmental and climate conditions in marine areas in the Arctic and Antarctic," according to its website. The ship is designed to "perform a range of research missions, including climate change."
The research vessel and icebreaker "Crown Prince Haakon" turned almost 85 degrees north. They went northeast of Svalbard on their way to the North Pole, but met thicker and more massive sea ice than expected."...Thick one-year ice, combined with large batches of multi-year ice. In many places, wind and ocean currents have pushed the ice together into powerful helmets, and several of these are impenetrable to us," says Captain Johnny Peder Hansen.
The ice is still 3m (10ft) thick, in mid-July. Even the researchers’ long special-purpose chainsaws proved hopeless, while the 20,000 horsepower Kronprins Haakon, at a cost of USD $175 million, failed miserably at attempts to push through. “In the middle of July, we saw a few signs of thawing and [assumed] that spring had come, said Captain Hansen, who for several decades has worked on various vessels in the Arctic. “We had expected more melting.”

WUT?! Unpossible!
That was not the headline they were looking for........
Yes un-possible, I know because the erf has a fever.
Byt
But AOCrazy said we only like had like 2 years to live?
Unexpected!
*Drink*
They have been trying for some 500 years. When will Europeans learn, there is NO Northwest Passage.
Algore must’ve been on board!
HA
HA HA
HA HA HA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
KYPD
But, the “scientist” Bill Nye claims the earth is on effing fire!!
The Russians recently launched the largest ice breaker ever.
Wanna bet they think ice isn’t going to be thinner in the future?
10 feet of ice against 20,000 HP? The ice won? bbwwahahahaha
C’mon now, who are you going to believe, the computer models or your own lying eyes?
Norwegian climate research Bozos fall for their own scam
I guess the transcendental beings that act to control the weather cycles on Planet Earth, at the direction pf the Creator of All, have chosen not to pay any attention to the small clamoring voices that keep shouting about “Global Warming!”
Especially that part about it being “man-made”.
Sun spots rule. These idiots should know that.
Proving that Global Warming is caused by human activities is proving to be a very difficult task. The “good news” for them is that the pay is very, very good, at least a $Trillion or so every few years.
And failure will not be punished either economically or in any other manner. It will be declared that what counts is that they were working for a good cause. (Advancing Marxism, of course).
There’s a Northwest Passage all right, just look at any map. Too bad it’s always blocked by ice.
