Good thing we're on track for the absolute hottest summer ever in the entire history of the galaxy then. DOH!

[Rummyfan]

Seems like this happens every year.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

This will / is already having global economic political, social and environmental implications.

Sounds like something my idiot (almost to be) son in law would say.

[Know et al]

It's settled science, that global warming is causing all the extra ice. (do I need it?)

[Red Badger]

HAs anybody ever told these guys that there are fossils of tropical plants found in Antarctica? The poles have not always been where they are today..............

[Billthedrill]

Ice, in the Arctic? Who knew?

[Paleo Pete]

Well then. Maybe they need to bring their swimsuits next time.

It seems a couple of years ago a scientific expedition got stuck in the ice and two icebreakers got stuck trying to get to them...

I love it when a liberal’s plan falls apart...

They should do a little actual research BEFORE taking off to prove a myth. It’s not hard to find, you just have to know how to spot the propaganda.

They are not the only ones. Crystal Cruises “Serenity” is, right now, in the Beaufort Sea above Alaska. It left Seward, Alaska 2 weeks ago and plans to be in New York City on Sept.16th. The 32 day passage through the Northwest Passage is hardly going to be roughing it as this deluxe ship is quite posh(*)! The thing that I do wonder about is if the outdoor pool and spas are getting much use?

While the special preparations for the trip include systems to detect ice, two Canadian ice pilots and an escort ship in case of trouble, some skeptics and conservationist criticize this effort. With up to 1,600 passengers, an emergency evacuation would be a nightmare even with a required $50k insurance on each passenger. The conservationist decry the voyage as being harmful to the delicate environment that the passengers signed up to see!

Lets see if this mild gamble pays off. FYI: (*) Posh was (apocryphal) an acronym for the best accommodations on round trips from England to India [Port Out, Staboard Back] to stay in the shade. With a west-east transit through the Arctic, I wonder if the sunnier, starboard cabins went first?

Liberals seem to have this thing about repeating stupid over, and over to get a different result.

[Delta 21]

They will get iced in and require assistance by an ice breaker and an International multi million dollar expenditure before its over.

Remember 6 months ago on the other end of the planet?

[Chode]

it helps when you have a nuclear powered ice breaker leading the way

Their boat will become a permanent landmark on an iceberg that congeals around it, just like the Russian “research” ship that got crushed in the Antarctic ocean.

The Franklin Expedition had the same problem.

That guy has got great teeth for a 19th century Brit!
