The NW passage has been open in winter before. Some years more than others.
Sorry Algore.

The Northwest Passage was finally traversed 1903-06 by Norwegian adventurer Roald AMUNDSEN in his tiny ship, Gjoa.

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.

These guys are the biggest lot of pandering losers I have ever seen outside of junior high.

Somewhere I have heard that an oil tanker made the trip a few decades ago, but was rather beat up. I haven't been able to verify...though I haven't tried hard either.

All of these mis-truths coming from Algore, who wants to maximize sales of his carbon credits business, says to me he is attempting financial fraud and should be put in jail.

Algore is not making mistakes, he is lying to manipulate world government policies for his own personal profit.
