A BRITISH yachtsman attempting the first solo Arctic sea passage across northern Russia was examining his options after heavier than expected ice blocked his route, his manager said.
Adrian Flanagan is discussing with Russian authorities the possibility of using a nuclear-powered icebreaker to lift his boat out of the water and carry it round the most icebound stretch of Russia's Northern Sea Route.

Yeah, its a terrible thing when you find out that despite all the reports of global warming, ice is still going to block your arctic voyage. Better sue algore for ruining your trip.
Idiot, meet Reality.
Try to get along, willya?
Yeah. This moron actually bought into the Global Warming ideology so much that he actually believed that ice conditions in the arctic north of Siberia would be light enough for him to circumnavigate the arctic. I don’t think he even investigated the conditions first. He just believed the bull that algore was peddling about Global Warming and that was enough for him. Now he is trapped by the ice and his own stupidity. I wonder if he will lose his yacht?
Sailor to ship:"Carry me!"
The Russians, who are sitting on the only available supply of Carbon Credits, should a cap-and-trade approach to CO2 control come about, have nooooooo reason to lie about global warming... Right? The fact that any realistic plan to control global CO2 production would basically grant them a license to print hard currency would not play into their thinking on this matter at all.
You know, it’s a shame that reality never stopped any social engineers from pursuing their fantasies with our tax dollars.
Isn’t there some way to turn social engineers into ice-locked bear-scat?
lol he should have brought a can of hair spray aerosol...
reality kind of smacks idiots in the face at proper intervals.
he might even be eaten by the polar bears that can swim and are growing in numbers, despite Al Gore idiocy to the contrary
Bwha-ha-ha-ha ha
if a polar bear eats him, he should be a shoo-in for the Darwin Award
Who has a motivation to lie about Global Warming?
Algore - Obviously. It is his ticket out of political obscurity
Russia - They stand to make Hundreds of Billions of Dollars by selling unused carbon credits
China - They can eliminate competition by the Industrialized West
India - They can reduce the cost of their own energy imports by stifling international demand
Europe - They will be slitting their own throats, but they will be able to do so with a smug sense of superiority, which is all that matters to the Europeans.
Canada - The Canadians are not lying. They actually believe this stuff.
South America - South and Central America cannot make themselves richer, but they can make the US poorer, which is the next best thing
Africa - Africa can blame all of their problems on Global Warming, instead of on their own incompetence and corruption. Global Warming is the latest excuse, following slavery, colonialism, capitalism, cultural imperialism and communism.
The Global Warming movement has global support because it has been carefully constructed to give every nation, except the United States, a reason to pretend that Global Warming is real. Given the motivations, only the thinnest veneer of crediblity is required to get these nations to sign off on doing what they have wanted to do all along.
That is EXACTLY what he is now worried about. Read this ARTICLE titled, "As Adrian Flanagan waits for the ice to clear he's been told to keep a careful watch for polar bears."
I guess those pics global warming alarmists use from that one year when the arctic ocean had a large ice free passage, and have used constantly every year since can be a real bummer to idiots attempting pointless and stupid things.
They should make these fools pay for the rescue expenses when they get in trouble. The bill for a Russian nuclear powered ice breaker ought to sober the guy up.
Adrian Flanagan believed the main stream media “No Arctic Ice” hype to his detriment.
Conditions won’t be gettig any better for this sailor. From here on, conditions in the arctic get colder. More ice which means he’s going to be TRAPPED there until at least next year.
Go Bears!!
They’ll be airdropping him food monthly, he’ll have to fight the bears for it, assuming they don’t find him tasty.,p.likely they will say he was greasy and gamey
Not only do they believe it, they think they can stop it by reduced their c02 output, even though they only contribute less than one percent of the industrialized worlds total c02 output with all their lights turned on at once and factories running full bore. The cold air must really slow their brain wave activity
