Also in ‘42 and ‘44 apparently.

Between 1940 and 1942 St. Roch navigated the Northwest Passage, arriving in Halifax harbor on October 11, 1942. St. Roch was the second ship to make the passage, and the first to travel the passage from west to east. In 1944, St. Roch returned to Vancouver via the more northerly route of the Northwest Passage, making her run in 86 days.

In her prime.....
Meanwhile, we’re slowly being buried in snow here in the Boston area.
This is a bunch of hogwash. The records date from only 1860. The Mauder minimum for solar activity coincided with this period that is referered to as the “Little Ice Age”. Of course the Earth has been warming since then.
The fact is that according to NASA’s own records the global surface/ocean average temperature has been unchanged or slightly declining. Read closely and you will see that many of the statistics cited are only surface temps or are manipulated as to the time interval referred to or refer to a small area like the UK or the US.
This article by itself leads you to only one conclusion: These guys are Hucksters and are not to be trusted.
Why they are flipping out about needing to do something now. Is it because they see that the latest solar cycle is over and they are afraid that the warming period is over?
The real motivation is wealth redistribution.
We had about 5 inches of global warming on the ground last week.
These guys are the biggest lot of pandering losers I have ever seen outside of junior high.
Whatever happened to the Ozone Layer crisis of the 90’s? Don’t hear anything more of that, did our government solve the problem or did it just go away?
the data al gore presented were later found to be in error due to not taking into account y2k.
It would be funny if the populace wasn't going along with it.
I'm sick of having this "Green" BS shoved down my throat when 99% of the "fixes" these morons propose, make every thing worse. Every time.
More bike paths? Wonderful! Now 14 cars come to a stop for a bicyclist to cross the road. Argh!

I wish it were that warm here.
When you have an agenda you can find a way.
The satellite temperature measurements (ie not re-written data by the global warming alarmists) shows that 2007 has been the coldest year this decade.
November 2007 is about the same temperature as November 1979.
So far throughout 2007, the average temperature in the lower atmosphere has declined by 0.4C (compared to the increase from 1900 to the end of 2006 of a rise of 0.6C.)
The current La Nina conditions in the Pacific is the likely reason 2007 has become a COLD year.
Too bad the general public will not hear what the real story is for temperature in 2007.
If La Nina continues for a few more months, this will be one of the coldest winters in 20 years.
Are the headline claims even true? Similar claims were made for the US. Those claims were debunked. Perhaps faulty US data made its way into “Global” statistics. it would be the first time that baloney from James Hansen’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies were to make it to global data.
You integrate. That is you make many, many measurements and then you average the results. Given enough measurements you can drive the error in your estimate to as low a level as you need to.
The entire global warming/climate change is being promalgated as man made and having catastrophic effects so far and will only get worse.
WE'RE ALL DOOMED!!!!
The science is sketchy at best, and yet is being touted as fact.
The believers claim that the results have been verified by ALL reputable scientists, and only unreputable scientists state otherwise. Thereby trying to stifle and opposition.
The believers are raving about a supposed 1 degree rise in temperature over the last 100 years.
The believers claim the snows on Kilimanjaro are melting. See previous point.
The believers claim the polar ice caps are shrinking. A 1 degree temperature rise over 100 years won't have any effect on snow, when the average ambient temperature is -20. How does snow and ice melt when temperatures are below freezing? Its called radiant heat. Radiant heat is caused by that big yellow thingy thing in the sky.
The Gorebull warming alarmists never accept or acknowledge the fact that the sun has been in a high sunspot cycle for the last 10 years or so. (Which would account for higher radiant heat)
When temperatures rise on Mars and Pluto and Europa. (even Uranus is warmer:) ) Something would indicate a similar thing is happening throughout the solar system. (SUV's in US cause warming on Pluto?)
The above article states warmest temperatures "on record". Leading some to believe these are the warmest temperatures ever, when in reality, if the temps ARE accurate, they are only for the last 150 years, when record keeping began. (Not to mention that the record keeping of 20 years ago, worldwide, are not of the same calibur that they are today. And that the records of 50 years ago are not as good as 20. And the same of 150 vs 50. Plus the records of the ENTIRE world are not and have not been up to either the US or other 1st world nations. And yet alarmists promote their "statistics" with surety that ALL records are of equal standing)
When scientists know that temperatures were warmer than they are currently, during the middle ages (When grapes were grown in England, and Greenland was actually green). And yet articles such as the one posted "imply" that current temperatures are the warmest (on record).
When alarmists point to every single "abnormality" and shriek global warming.
When "facts" are represented for global warming, but other "theories" are ignored or omitted that counter global warming, some would call this lying (but not Bill Clinton),. Lying by ommission.
When this seems to be the mode of operation, one must wonder what the agenda is.
When the anti US-UN, waits 6 months to finally announce the outcome of a UN study on climate change, (Why wait 6 months to present the details? Unless of course you want to "arrange" the details to support your predetermined conclusion) And those details say that global warming is man made, and that the US is the single most leading cause of GW. And that the hardest hit nations will be the poor nations of the world. And that the wealthy nations (read United States) should pay (the UN) to relieve the plight of the poor caused by global warming (caused by the US).
Yet the UN has been riddled with all types of scams and improprieties. The UN more than ressembles the huckster televangalist saying "If money is your problem, send me your problem".
