Because AlGore said so?
yes the segway dude and then this— classic
COLDER?
As Imus used to say:”You Just Can’t Make This Stuff Up”!
.
Upset that there's not enough global warming to prove his point about global warming.
Is he gonna sue to recoup the cost? That could be interesting.
That'll really do his environmentalist friends proud.
I’d help, but polar bears gotta eat too.
Global warming may have jumped the shark
"It's 1995 calling. They say they want their cell phone back."
Another victim of Global Scamming.

He ought to call Algore. After all, he's the loud mouth who's been proclaiming this for years.
According to the History Channel, the Ice Road Truckers had a record year this past winter. Guess global warming is over.
(thanks, Mr. Larson!)
Really fascinating book is “The Brendan.”
This is almost as rich as those two lady “explorers” that were going
north this spring “to publicize global warming”.
IIRC, they had to turn back from their arctic trek when the weather turned
cold and batteries failed for some devices.
(there were some rascally posts here at FR speculating on what those
devices actually were).
And needless to say, the ladies didn’t fall through heat-thinned ice
because it was plenty cold!
And the hits keep coming... Good one!
Sending that icebreaker isn’t cheap. They may send a helo, but he’ll be packing a bag and saying ‘adieu’ to his yacht.
That’s how this will end up.
What’s funnier about this is that the yacht will fall under the law of the sea for salvage. It means that anyone that can get the yacht out can either 1) Keep her, or 2) Split the value of the yacht down the middle with the original owner. It’ll likely be option 2) since the yacht’s owner is alive and reachable. Option 1) would be if the owner were dead or unreachable.
He may decide to turn around, and go back the way he came. I can’t see that being likely, but it depends. He’s going to have an easier time of it going back to the Chukchi Sea.
He can put in at Point Hope from there, or if he can make it down far enough, even Uelen in Siberia.
Barrow is probably out of the question now. Time’s running out for our hero, too. I’d wager that he’s getting about 8 to 10 daylight hours a day at that latitude now.
If a Breaker doesn’t send a helo soon, then they won’t, because you don’t break ice in the dark.
That means that this guy will be going through the worst fall, winter, and spring of his life, since it will not only be cold, but it will be permanently dark for the entire duration.
The only other fix, and I DOUBT seriously this will happen, is that the Russians will send a sub. He’s in Russian territorial waters now, so the Canucks, Vikings, and Yanks are out.
