A group of adventurers, sailors, pilots and climate scientists that recently started a journey around the North Pole in an effort to show the lack of ice, has been blocked from further travels by ice.

The Polar Ocean Challenge is taking a two month journey that will see them go from Bristol, Alaska, to Norway, then to Russia through the North East passage, back to Alaska through the North West passage, to Greenland and then ultimately back to Bristol. Their objective, as laid out by their website, was to demonstrate “that the Arctic sea ice coverage shrinks back so far now in the summer months that sea that was permanently locked up now can allow passage through.”

There has been one small hiccup thus-far though: they are currently stuck in Murmansk, Russia because there is too much ice blocking the North East passage the team said didn’t exist in summer months, according to Real Climate Science.

Real Climate Science also provides a graph showing that current Arctic temperatures — despite alarmist claims of the Arctic being hotter than ever — is actually below normal.

  1. “A group of adventurers, sailors, pilots and climate scientists that recently started a journey around the North Pole in an effort to show the lack of ice, has been blocked from further travels…… by ice.”

    (shakes head)

    God, I love these adorable idiots…

          1. “No but we can purge it!!”

            If you murder the person telling you a fact, does that make the fact go away?

            If you understand both Climate Depot and the Daily Caller are on the payroll of the companies causing the meltdown in the Arctic sea, why would you believe a single word they say about the Arctic sea?

            Is it possible you’re so stupid you cannot see a conflict of interest so obvious?

            “Marc Morano is the executive director and chief correspondent of ClimateDepot. com, a project of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT). Morano is also the Communications Director at CFACT, a conservative think-tank in Washington D.C. that has received funding from ExxonMobil, Chevron, as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars from foundations associated with Richard Mellon Scaife.”

            1. The very best way of gaining knowledge is ignoring the actual science (the peer reviewed studies are for sissies and takes time away from my chest thumping about how smart I am), and instead heading right to the right wing denier blogs and listening to fox news and Rush Limbaugh 24/7. They interpret that stuff for me. If you can’t explain it in 140 characters or less, I’m out.

              Just like the other day. When scientists announced the discovery of water on Mars recently, Rush Limbaugh drew the obvious conclusion: It was all part of a conspiratorial plot. See easy! I’m all informed up.

              1. “let’s say it once and for all GLOBAL WARMING IS A HOAX”

                lol! Like a mantra?

                What was that thing you guys like to say about a cult…

                “The heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide and other gases was demonstrated in the mid-19th century”

      1. The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and i some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulate at Bergen Norway

        Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in
        climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone.

        Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81
        degrees 29 minutes.

        Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.

        Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report
        continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

        Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.

        Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.

        * * *

        I must apologize.

        I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post – 93 years ago.

        1. “Soundings” (echo soundings) measure the depth of the water, not water temperature. Actual science has never been the strong suit of maniacal self- proclaimed “climate scientist”.

          1. “Of all the factors involved with sound propagation in very shallow
            water, the water temperature has the greatest effect on the sound
            velocity. However, there are considerable difficulties in measuring the
            water temperature in the sea. Therefore, we propose to install a
            thermister chain in a commercially available remote-control boat with
            sounding capability. First, we conducted an experiment to compare the
            measuring function between the remote-control boat and other reference
            equipment to survey the accuracy of our proposed method. The results
            confirmed the accuracy of position, sounding, and temperature
            measurements made by the boat in practical use. Next, we measured water
            temperature profiles in Hashirimizu port using the remote-control boat
            system. According to the temperature data, unexpected changes of water
            temperature were found at different locations and times, caused, we
            believe, by variations in the air temperature accompanying weather
            conditions. Finally, we calculated the sound ray trace using actual sea
            temperature data and confirmed the available path for sound propagation
            in very shallow water.”

              1. Tyson is a physicist and cosmologist by trade. His acceptance of global warming is only based on believing what others have reported in the so-called ‘respected peer journals’.

                1. Please note they all sell out.
                  deGrasse Tyson probably wouldn’t get funding for his Netflix show unless he inserted some of this crap in it.

          2. I don’t know much about the subject, but i know some depth sounders also check temperature. I always wondered do they do it with the echos or do they simply have a thermister probe in the sounder.

            1. Okay, imagine you are in the middle of the Puerto Rico trench there is 18,000ft. of water underneath your boat. The surface temp is 80F.
              So your thermistor reads 80F. 1000ft. below the water temp is 50F.
              Big difference, but with your sonar you won’t ever know because your thermistor reads surface temp. There might be a newer technology that I’m not aware of, but a recording thermometer was lowered in the days when I was on the surface there.
              Regards

              1. OK, if that’s how they work, it is a huge difference, sounds like the way they take land temps, the stations are always near air ports and near cities so they never get the true average of the earth’s temps because they are always missing the colder data. Likely on purpose.

                1. Additionally Chris, just what is the Average Temp anyway?
                  I think they only have like 3000 stations all over the earth.
                  Many, to your point, are located in heat islands.
                  Oh, and for Ocean temps, they use floating buoys and ships passing through the area for surface temps. The problem they identified with that was the ships take the temps from the water used to cool their engines, now they take it before it is used for cooling, but sometimes the discharge of the warmer water contaminates the temp readings. I just heard about the last month.
                  Anyhow, I’m not going to lose any sleep over the whole nonsense, it is just designed to force industrialized countries to pay non-industrialized countries a chunk of change, so that we get poorer, and those other countries get richer…..
                  The UN has even admitted to that, yet the Al Gore’s of the world keep banging the drum.

          1. what’s funny is rush had a contdown clock for Gore. it ended at the beginning of the year. Florida is not under water and we still have polar bears. even if polar bears went exstint who is to say that’s a bad thing we don’t have a lot of species because of extinction

                    1. “OK. You convinced me”

                      Is that really so impressive when you are so easily convinced by someone so obviously dishonest?

                      “Marc Morano is the executive director and chief correspondent of ClimateDepot. com, a project of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT). Morano is also the Communications Director at CFACT, a conservative think-tank in Washington D.C. that has received funding from ExxonMobil, Chevron, as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars from foundations associated with Richard Mellon Scaife. According to 2011 IRS Forms, Morano was the highest paid staff member with a salary of $150,000 per year. Morano’s blog Climate Depot regularly publishes articles questioning man-made global warming.”

                    2. It doesn’t matter who the people or sources are, whether they are a publishing climate scientist or a non publishing non climate scientist who is employed by the fossil fuel industry or a right wing think tank or some nutter like whoever. All opinions are Equal and therefore Balanced. I learned that watching Fox news. 🙂

                      As a matter of fact, I get most of my medical advice about cigarette smoking from people Phillip Morris pays to inform me like the right wing think tanks such as Heartland Institute.
                      /sarc

                  1. “I would.”

                    Uh huh, and what if you did torture Al Gore?

                    Would that change the meltdown happening in the Arctic sea?

                    “Since 1978, satellites have monitored sea ice growth and retreat, and they have detected an overall decline in Arctic sea ice. The rate of decline has steepened in the 21st century.”

                    earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/WorldOfChange/sea_ice.php

                    1. So, you would consider sharing a prison cell with Hillary to be “torture?” Well, I think we found something on which we can agree. :o)

                      Now that that’s settled, what do you recommend for those unfortunate fellows who are freezing to death after becoming trapped in this steeply declining sea ice?

                      BTW, NASA has become a purely political organization that has long since disqualified itself from commenting on climate matters.

                    2. “what do you recommend for those unfortunate fellows who are freezing to death after becoming trapped in this steeply declining sea ice?”

                      Your question assumes that which is not in evidence.

                      Why would you even believe a word of the article is true!?

                      If you know the author is an employee of the companies causing the ice to melt, why would you believe a single word he says?

                      Is it possible you’re too stupid to see a conflict of interest so obvious?

                      “Climate Depot is sponsored by the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), a conservative policy and lobbying organization that has received funding from ExxonMobil and Chevron.”

                      mediamatters.org/research/2012/12/27/climate-change-misinformer-of-the-year-marc-mor/191878

                    3. Who is making unwarranted assumptions here? The only “fact” that you site is an ad hominem attack on the author. The original article at climatedepot is fully referenced.

                      Your “source,” mediamatters, is nothing a bunch of lying, turd-flinging liberal chimps that routinely uses ad hominem attacks in lieu of facts.

                    4. <<o. ★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★✫★:::::::!be94p..:….,…..

                1. “It is not only natural, it is the most common result for a species.”

                  Does that make it right for you to cause it?

                  Can an animal adapted to life on ice survive without ice?

                  “March 28, 2016… Arctic sea ice appears to have reached its annual maximum extent on March 24, and is now the lowest maximum in the satellite record, replacing last year’s record low.”

                  nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/2016/03/another-record-low-for-arctic-sea-ice-maximum-winter-extent

                  1. You are a loon, I’ve told you before that Arctic and Antarctic ice isn’t shrinking, yet you ignore another real life fact, and attack me with a stupid question. I don’t care about you or your silly questions.
                    I stated a fact from billions of years of life on earth.
                    Oh and since most bear pops are on the increase your question is moot.
                    Go find another gw idiot to talk to.

                  2. If you or anyone can prove that humans, and humans alone, are directly responsible for climate changes that, in turn, are directly responsible for the destruction of any species, that will be a question worth pondering.

              1. I suspect, and this is truly sad, that the extinct Dodo is smarter than the AGW believers. How can this be?
                Well the AGW crowd is always yapping..if their lips are moving they are lying. The Dodo’s don’t talk….so while the AGW crowd is wrong each time their lips move…the Dodo says nothing, so it’s never wrong.
                LOL

        2. Don’t be surprised if some climate change fanatic plagiarizes this entire article. In fact, it sounds so familiar that it’s probable that they already have recycled it.

          1. Well, so what you are saying is they are going back to what they were predicting before the Global Warming Thing. News Week and Time Magazine in the 1970’s produced articles that alarmed people and made them worry about a coming ice age that would make food scare and cause problems world wide.

            1. Precisely…I remember living in San Francisco area during the 60’s/70’s
              Though I was still a kid, the global cooling talk was everywhere.
              Now the Liberals have moved to global warming.
              Historically the earth mean temperature is constantly fluctuating.
              Politicians are simply looking for alternative revenue confiscations.

              The more important issue is the way the Government sprays our skies and the fall out as a result. I have research this for many years and know it to be true but the Government is very persuasive with dis information.

              1. I remember my parents freaking out because they walked outside and, overnight, everything had turned pure white and was drenched in ice sickles. It was due to a blizzard that hit north Texas in ’78.

      2. They are mentally deficient. Lacking in the basic processes of thought necessary to survive. Put a liberal in the wilderness for a week and he is toast.

    1. Yep, it actually does get a little stupider. Didn’t they get stuck (how many times does this make? LOL) in the Antarctic a year or two ago? I recall that not only did they get stuck – their RESCUE ship got stuck, too.

      Warmists. They just can’t win against that pesky thing called objective reality …

            1. Well, in all fairness, warmer temperatures probably would help the polar bear to multiply, just as it helps people. The increase in polar bears is probably more due to conservation and protection than anything else.

      1. There was also a land expedition (4-5 years ago, maybe Canada or Greenland?) that had to turn back because the freezing cold and ice were too much to handle.

      2. Which is of course, why they are now screeching about needing to criminalize dissent. When all the evidence and reality disagrees with tyrants (and all lefties are tyrants, because if people agreed with them it wouldn’t be necessary to IMPOSE their agenda), their solution is to break out a bigger hammer to hit you with.

      3. Well, which is it, warmists or changists? It’s really hard to keep up when the science is just not there. Good grief, when you find yourself in a hole, you don’t keep digging in the hole if you want to get out. If I were to be hiring scientists in the future, to do scientific research, it certainly wouldn’t be any of these “climate change” yahoos.

  2. In other news, Same climate scientists, adventurers, sailors and pilots are searching for Al Gore to give them advice on what their next move should be.

    1. Al is pretty busy trying to keep surfers off “his” beach in Santa Barbara. (I guess he really isn’t afraid of those “rising sea levels”)

  3. Smack in the middle of summer too. You can’t make this stuff up.
    I thought the useful idiots said it was now climate change?
    More proof, all the bogus computer models have been wrong. Garbage in, garbage out.

  4. Wonder if FedEx can deliver a tree to them so they can all engage in a group hug?

    Al Gore, Al Gore. Please call your office. We have a situation here. Our ship that has been dispatched to document the shrinking ice cap is stuck in the ice.

    1. Now you’ve done it…the ripple effects of this rumor will be felt in the halls of power then trickle down to the useful idiots who will carry the water and expose us to ten more years of crazy that we’ll have to fight tooth and nail! 😉

  5. But….but…but more ice also means climate change. After all, anything that happens in our climate, being regional droughts or floods, heat waves or freezes, is because of “climate change.” There’s a reason the leftards changed “global warming” to “climate change.”

  6. Gotta love it when the lefty liberal end of times is held up by the hand of God. Climate this you bunch of self serving, twisting the outcome for your benefit cheating scientists. Nature 1= 0 Stupid humans.

    1. Why the panic? We’ve been coming out the last ice age for 6 thousand years with periods of warming when the Northwest Passage was open and they could raise grapes for wine making in England. When the cooling returned they went back to making beer. It’s a win – win.

    1. Salmon you are so full of it……..Its only 99 here in Nashville 🙂 But feels like 106, we call that summer with el nino in the South

  7. I don’t buy into man-made climate change, but if we were seriously trying to lower carbon dioxide levels around the planet, we should have a massive effort to plant more trees. Also, if we are really concerned about reducing ozone destruction, we should reduce the number of jet flights; and the number of space missions. Scientists are so unscientific!

    1. If they were that concerned and totally believing in there spiel, they’de be traveling in airships (most efficient way of air travel) to their shindigs. Of course, it’ll take ten times longer to get there, but show some kind of commitment at least.

    2. Already being done! You can buy carbon offset credits from Al Gore’s company which will then allow you to continue to burn rubbish in your back yard by planting several eucalyptus trees in South America on barren land where they are burning off the Amazon jungle! You get to burn trash, the air gets clean, and Al pockets $$$ – everyone wins!

    1. Nope! They’ve been busy the last 8 years betraying Americans ( at least the low-info crowd) by misrepresenting, shielding and lying to protect the sickness of progressive liberalism, the Democrat Party and the fraud in the White House!
      What? I’ve been busy!

  8. Global Warming is REAL,, FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    REAL Good for Al Gore’s bank accounts that is…
    Almost 1 Billion reasons now for Al Gore to perpetuate the GoreAl warming scare.

  9. How inconvenient… Blocked going south, blocked going north, how the heck are they supposed to report on the catastrophic lack of ice with all that ice around!

    1. All of the ice formations this summer are caused by global warming. The irony! Libs are idiotic sheep that have nothing better to do than suck at the teet of government grants.

  10. As long as private and government donors keep believing all of the Bravo Sierra; they will keep funding these scientists. The same scientists may be behind the $15 per hour minimum wage, as a hedge when their climate-scam gig runs out .

  11. Typical leftwing liberal hype. Bad thing is there are so many stupid people who blindly go along with whatever the idiotic progressives dream up!

  12. And they want to throw the Global Warming skeptics in jail…. Lol lol lol.

    I hope some tree hugging millionaire is slowly realizing that all the money he gave these clowns has actually proving the opposite point he/she intended.
    Here me DiCaprio?

  13. “…despite alarmist claims of the Arctic being hotter than ever — is actually below normal…”
    …which is actually rubbish; the arctic is warming faster than any other part of the globe; of course you won’t find Climate Depot providing a reference to their nonsense assertion

    1. Nick, thanks for being on our side. It ain’t easy to convince people that we need another meeting in Paris so that we can all fly in on private jets.

        1. They don’t HAVE to go ANYWHERE! Why can’t a huge teleconference be made available to anyone who wants to be a part of, make it accessible to anyone else who wants to watch…all from the comfort of their own abodes? Oh, wait…no money can be made that way, I.e., first class transportation, luxury accomadations, gourmet food, hookers, etc.

    2. “McIntyre and McKitrick obtained part of the program that Mann used, and they found serious problems. Not only does the program not do conventional PCA, but it handles data normalization in a way that can only be described as mistaken.

      “Now comes the real shocker. This improper normalization procedure tends to emphasize any data that do have the hockey stick shape, and to suppress all data that do not. To demonstrate this effect, McIntyre and McKitrick created some meaningless test data that had, on average, no trends. This method of generating random data is called “Monte Carlo” analysis, after the famous casino, and it is widely used in statistical analysis to test procedures. When McIntyre and McKitrick fed these random data into the Mann procedure, out popped a hockey stick shape!

      “That discovery hit me like a bombshell, and I suspect it is having the same effect on many others. Suddenly the hockey stick, the poster-child of the global warming community, turns out to be an artifact of poor mathematics. How could it happen?”

  14. You just got to love it. Karma for sure. There may be some global warming but it is much better than global cooling as it is hard to grow crops for food in ice or shortened growing seasons. This warming period isn’t even as extreme as ones in past eons so just take a breath relax and hope the next ice age isn’t as bad as the last one. It will be here soon enough.

  15. When I was a kid scientists were working on a blanket to cover large areas of land to keep them warm. Yes in the 50s and 60s global cooling was the issue. Since then I have learned about the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and how it is the main factor influencing the weather here in Southern California. But contrary to popular liberal belief the earth is cooling, we are only about 10K years from the next ice age.

  16. there is only one goal for the climate hypers,..and that is control. there may be many well-meaning, gullible, ill-informed sincere people that think this is a HUGE problem, but for TPTB it is control. the goal is control

  17. 200 years of recorded climate data and all of a sudden we know everything to know about the history of climate on the 4.5 Billion year old planet earth? Now I know why almost all comics are liberals, they are hilariously entertaining without really even trying.

  18. This? This is proof there is no climate change? They set sail on the exact date they wanted…which was today. It will take 10 days to reach the ice referred to in this drodgebot-trainwreck of an article, and most sailors in Murmansk think the ice will be receded by then. It’s a sailboat, and the feat would be unprecedented, with the footnote being the fact that our climate would now allow this. Follow the blog of the crew, see if they make it. Nah….too much readin’.

      1. well, you must know better than the people actually there experiencing it, because that’s where my information came from. and thanks for your opinion, but the number of daylight hours has little to nothing to do with the temperature.

    1. No joke about them Russians drinking, big time too. There’s a rumor that back in the day, a Russian artillery got ripped and shelled the Finns and started the Winter War.

  19. This is freaking hilarious! And this type of situation happens frequently with the warmer-crowd. Mother nature interferes with their religious beliefs.

    They try to get out their propaganda and they’re stalled by the GD ice! HA!

  20. That can’t be true. Their boat couldn’t have been stopped by ice.

    Either they’re lying about their boat getting stopped by the ice, or they’re lying about global warming.
    Either way, they’re lying.

  21. What about the folks currently at the South Pole where it is colder than normal this winter? Minus 80F and the wind blowing so hard they can’t rescue a person needing critical medical attention. Crickets from the press on that one. By the way, does anyone know about that incident?

  22. So nice to see a heartwarming story like this !…My only fear is they may freeze to death…this global warming stuff can be deadly

  23. Sounds like the movie “The Great Race” where Professor Fates and The Great Leslie were in a iceberg in Russia. “I’m Professor Fates”. Life imitating movies.

  24. What is bizarre is they think that the northern passage is a BAD thing…yet sailors have been trying to find a consistent northern passage for a thousand years.

      1. Interestingly, it was during the Maunder Minimum that all North American arctic circle-passages were completely iced over.

        The current sunspot cycle is beginning to look a lot like that which occurred during the Maunder Minimum.

  25. Whoa, this is just like the 1970’s all over again when many of these same scientists were claiming that we are on the verge of a new ice age and half the world would starve because of it.

    1. “Climate experts believe the next ice age is on its way.”
      – Leonard Nimoy, 1978.

    1. Back in the global cooling days of the ’70s, they thought about spreading black carbon dust of some sort around the poles to actually MELT the ice!!

  26. This is not a problem. While they’re stuck in Murmansk they’ll have plenty of time to think of some convoluted way of blaming all of this ice on global warming. The environmental wacko rule is no matter what type of weather or climate extreme is occurring, it always due to global warming.

  27. At what point does the news that idiots get stranded in ice not make the news……I guess when they are all frozen dead.

    If a global warmist dies on an iceberg and no one cares does it make a noise?

  28. In the early 1970’s these earth worshipers were screaming we were entering an iceage and all animal life was going to be dead by the 1990’s it did not happen. These very same people by the mid 1980’s were screaming we were going into an irreversible “Global Warming” period, it did not happen. What do they do when they are called out on it? they now say “climate change” to fit their propaganda, anything to get more research money plus they could care less about your children.

  29. Well, we’re going to have to admit these carnival barkers have a perfect record going.

    They’ve been 100% wrong in 100% of their predictions.

  30. Doesn’t really matter if they discover that the ice is not receding. The objective is not research, but to advance a political agenda. They’ll find some way to blame mankind for something going on in the North Pole. Then sit back and wait for more government grants.

  31. Elitists funded by other elitists doing the “Grand Tour” that proletarian elitists only dream about then bore others with their exploits. How many tons of hydrocarbons were oxidized during their Grand Tour?

    1. That was a trip to the south pole for similar global warming purposes. They got stuck in the ice that they claimed wasn’t there (because of global warming) and had to be rescued.

  32. Wonder what it feels like to accidentally disprove the nuttiness you’re trying to prove.

    This isn’t gonna make the folks back at the Glo-Bull Religion Special Olympics and Temperature Fudging Cultist Laboratory very happy.

    1. Actually, there’s been a few occasions over the years that wherever he pitches his snake-oil routine, near-record breaking cold/winter storm events occur.

  33. These people are idiots. They will return hailing how they could not find any ice! The government has lost all credibility with the public! The EPA STILL will NOT release it’s data on it latest findings as they know is is full of sh|t!

  34. It wouldn’t bother me a moment if these whack jobs were stuck in the ice until hell freezes over but then they would complain about global cooling. Fu¢k ’em all.

      1. quick, we must call a meeting of all the TOP MEN.
        fly on their private jets, rent all the SUVS and drive to secret meetings..
        disregard their huge carbon foot print
        and put it where the sun doesn’t shine…

  35. Hahahahahahahahahaha!
    Folks, remember fanatics (both Leftists and Muslims) will never give up their ideology! They have become their ideology. Rational people would never blow themselves up, nor blow up innocent crowds, nor fly airplanes into buildings thinking they would instantly go to Paradise.

    American and European Leftists actually LOVE this terror, it gives them excuse to have more gov’t control over everything, the definition of Socialism. Lying, crooked HiLIARy is one bad ideologue: her graduate thesis, (http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2013/04/hillary-clintons-1969-thesis-on-saul.html), was on how great was Saul Alinsky. Please pay attention to her ‘acknowledgements.’

    1. I hate how the media goes along with this crap, especially when during a story they inevitably give a quick useless soundbite interview with a “typical-man-on-the-street”…

      “Yeah dude, I’ve never seen it this hot around here before!”
      As if that is adequate confirmation to their story/narrative. I guess some people actually swallow it though!

  36. They will show everyone that global-warming really exists, as soon as they get an ice-breaker ship to clear the path thru the unexpected ice.

  37. You can bet the global warmists will blame the unusual amount of ice is due to global warming. Never once will they question the tenets & dogmas of their religion.

  38. Global Warming zealots have now been ice-locked at both poles.

    Is the rescue ship going to get ice-locked this time, too?

    What delusional idiots.

  39. Don’t worry, the globalists seeking to create hidden taxes and spending havens for their rich, lavish lifestyles will “adjust” the current recorded temperatures to take into account some strange or somewhat believable metric and include it in the reported temperatures for 2016. Today a weather reporter said that June 2016 was the hottest on record. Meanwhile, the reported temperatures were not even close to the highest recorded levels (it was in fact a mild and rainy June where we live). They were adjusting the temperatures with humidity and reporting values much higher than actually felt. Since it was a rainy June, of course it was humid. But that actually COOLED the weather for us not made it oppressively hotter. At some point, we need to put chicken little out to pasture and remove their ability to report… (like screaming “fire” in crowded theatres.)

  40. I have a solution to freeing the icebound ship:
    Send Al Gore to the Antarctic and let him bloviate. In a couple of hours he will have freed the ship and opened an ice-free passage for the ship to sail out of

  41. When will they stop calling these idiots “experts” ? None in the mainstream media ever calls them on their failed claims. The Arctic was predicted to be ice free by 2013 according to Cambridge expert Prof. Peter Wadham.

  42. To a cult believer, reality is what they are told by their “prophets” seeking *profits*, not what the actual reality is. To these cult believers, that ice does not even exist, even though they are physically trapped by it.

  43. These gummy brained activists and alarmists are going to cling to their “scientific” evidence….erroneous though it may be. Nothing can stop insanity in pursuit of its ridiculous end goals. So be it. As the tattered saying goes..”You can’t fix stupid”…and these dopes prove it once again.

  44. LMAO, just another set of dumba**es proving themselves wrong. Why would you spend so much money and effort on something that has been proven wrong again and again? Well I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, the same kind of thinking leads people like this to try socialism again and again, despite it failing miserably every time.

  45. It’s funny when they fake the data, and then start believing their own lies. But it’s okay, they probably made a bundle on government subsidies, grants, and sponsorship for their “historical” (should be hysterical) journey.

  46. These clowns will keep on claiming doom and gloom as long as they get paid. This is nothing more then a global takeover, thankfully it is not going too well. Global Warming, Human made climate change or whatever you want to call it is a scam…

  47. Hopefully they all freeze to death. Also, how much of a carbon footprint is it to run that diesel clunker all over the North Pole for 2+ months!

  48. This obstructionist ice is clearly Bush’s Fault! I think these Climate Heroes should declare a moral victory because they reached The People’s Pole and not some stupid ‘both Pole’ picked by some giant capitalist corporations.

  49. There appears to be scientific evidence that the polar caps are melting and that they are growing, depending on who you listen to. All I know is that the beach is the same as it was 50 years ago.

    1. Hey THAT AINT NO HOCKEY STICK! Wait until Hillary gets elected, you’ll be charged with Conspiracy To Destroy The Planet under the RICO laws.

  50. Can’t you deniers see the ice was caused by global climate warming chaos disruption, plus your hate, stupidity and lack of knowing science stuff? If you can’t, you’re racist, too.

  51. We are more likely to be heading to a mini ice age (Maunder Minimum) than a warming. The annual warmer and cooler years relate to sun spots which has been known and observed for 400 years. The climatic impact of man is small and frankly has improved greatly over the last 200 years as we have developed away from dirty coal and wood fires to use natural gas, low emission diesel, nuke, and cleaner coal.

    Liberals claim to be upbeat but for some reason they don’t want to recognize the greatly improved earth we have as evidenced by cleaner water ways, bays, and skies.

  52. The Achilles Heal of AGW, they can fudge the numbers and models to feed us fake data that supports their claims; BUT they can’t fudge reality.

    I fully expected that one day several decades from now, NOAA weather would be reporting that it is 125 F in New York City in September, while there is 8″ of snow on the ground and homeless people freezing to death.

  53. These are the same genius activists who vote for more Gun Control Laws even though their feral/fatherless offspring are constantly violating the ones WE ALREADY HAVE and contributing to 95% of the nation’s violent-crime rate…

  54. And yet, it should be a punishable crime to deny global warming?

    [sarcasm]OTOH, why not? As long as we’re tossing out the second amendment, might as well knock out that pesky first one as well. It’s a LIVING DOCUMENT, people! It should say what those currently in power want it to. :/ [/sarcasm]

  55. Petards…Get your fresh made Petards. Only ONE reputation each. Get HOISTED right along with your friends and fellow believers… Petards…. Petards…. Get yours now while they last… Petards… Only a small reputation for one BIG Petard…. Getum now they’re going fast in the climate change asylum…..

  56. So now we know that alleged climate scientists are so stupid they couldn’t look at a satellite mapping of the area from the weather service before leaving on such an expedition.

  57. you idiots. do your homework. climatedepot.com is owned and operated by a special interest group lobbying for the oil companies and you fall right into the trap of believing all the bs they feed you…

    1. …which is completely irrelevant to the facts presented here. One could make the same kind of argument against the global warming alarmists, that they’re a bunch of frauds funded by left-wing fasçist who are using junk science as a pretext to boss people around and take their stuff.

    2. You clowns have been pushing the same nonsense for over a decade and yet you never learn. To try to smear the other side for funding is ridiculous when the funding for your fraud from government and enviro-lunatics exponentially dwarfs what you are condemning. Look in the mirror if you want to see who is actually the idiot.

        1. LOL, from the Polar Ocean Challenge’s own blog on 15 July: “…on the north east passage the route is Solid ice right up to the land and is the worst for many years.”

          So strange that the ice would be all the way to the continent and the worst in years during the hottest-ever summer. Dumba55es.

  58. The difference between “climate science” and real science is that with real science, when your model fails to make accurate predictions, your theory is falsified. Global warming cannot be falsified, because it isn’t held to the same standards as real science.

    There is no context in which “hide the decline” can be construed as meaning anything except “falsify the data.”

  59. Liberalism is simply intellectual dishonesty…that they apparently deceive even themselves with. By their not wanting there to be ice and by their denial of reality, they believe they can change reality…and they get stuck in the ice they want to convince others does not exist. But, just like Debbie Wasserman Schultz “They see nothing” and if asked would probably come up with 1000 denials like Baghdad Bob that they are actually trapped in the ice they don’t believe is there.

  60. OH WHAT A GOD we serve!! They say CLIMATE and HE lets them have HIS climate change in their face!!
    I LOVE IT………I say GLORY!

    HE IS COMING………………

    1. In Antarctica in Dec 2013-Jan 2014, high summer in that hemisphere; a russian ship carrying warming researchers got stuck in what is usually a clear passage most of the year by thick ice. An Australian ice breaker sent to rescue them also got stuck. Another ice breaker turned around before getting stuck. The 52 passengers including global warming researchers were eventually air lifted via helicopter.

  61. I’m willing to bet they don’t believe their lying eyes. They will manage to blame the GW skeptics as the ne’er-do-wells blocking their path.

    1. What they really should put their time and money into studying is how all of the heat from warming is clustering around their sensors while it is getting colder everywhere else. We haven’t had a 90 F day yet this summer, they are forecasting the first for this summer this Saturday. We’ve normally had at least a week of 90s+ by this time of year.

      1. the bottom line on this is that objectivity on the entire subject has been tainted by the presence of the Carbon Tax and Cap and Trade advocate parasites…there is a large amount of money at stake in this boondoggle concept, and people like Gore and his ilk, as well as other governments have set their sights on a vast new taxation cash cow, yet another way to milk the populace of whatever they have left …it’s like Obamacare for planet Earth

        1. It is supposed to be $100 Billion per year donated by western nations to help disadvantaged nations fight warming. That is JUST the relief fund for poor countries and doesn’t include what those developed countries are supposed to spend domestically each year.

  62. Again? Didn’t this happen just two years ago and have to be busted out by ice-breakers from several nations? What chimps are wasting their money on this nonsense?

    1. Posted below by franc1sc0:

      In Antarctica in Dec 2013-Jan 2014, high summer in that hemisphere; a

      before getting stuck. The 52 passengers including global warming

  63. If this collection of climate science “experts” were so Mensa-smart, how come they couldn’t even predict that the arctic ice enroute would be too thick for them to complete their journey? Don’t answer, it’s a rhetorical question.

  64. You know, one of these days you’d think these morons would learn. Every time they start one of these expeditions to ‘prove’ their religion to be true — they get stuck in the ice they said wasn’t there. It happened in the Antarctic, and now it’s happened in the Arctic. And it happens to Al Gore almost every time he tries to have one of his big “global warming” summits — it gets snowed out.

  65. A large part of why the weather is so “wacky” is due to the implementation of weather modification programs and Geoengineering of the planet. None of which is being talked about due to the C I A propaganda arm known as the lame stream media being complicit in the massive disinfo campaign. We aren’t being fed the proper information because they don’t want us to know the truth. I think some of us are smarter than that tho.

  66. Actually, if you click the word “journey”, it says 3 stops were planned including Murmansk, and the same website says they plan to leave Murmansk today.

  69. The boat is a sail boat .They are exploring.This article is so slanted .They put a picture of an icebreaker on this webpage .It is not an icebreaker it is a small sailboat.

  70. No, no, of course any child knows that MORE ice actually points to MORE warming, as the ice melts, the water warms and condensates, which causes more clouds, which makes it colder, causing snow, and ice, which then warms….Wait, um, I lost my place…

  71. Being trapped in Ice in the Arctic doesn’t change the fact that the Ice levels in the arctic are their lowest in the last 450 years and have dropped 75% since 1970.

    WTF is wrong with you ldiots? Taking one case of one event and extrapolating that to the entire picture?

    Is this how dumb Republicans are?

    1. “WTF is wrong with you ldiots?”
      I see you are unable to defend the gospel of global warming. Makes you look kind of like an, well, you know.

  72. There is no such thing as measurable anthropogenic global warming. Climate always changes in natural cycles. Getting warmer is good; ice ages suck. Melting ice is good news.

  73. Might be worth looking at the NSIDC web site to see what has actually being happening to the Ice in the Arctic since 1979. There are ups and downs but the trend for every month is down down down.

  74. The comments below seem low on intelligent interpretation. Is this a reflection of American politics. Debate seems to consist of insults hurled back and forth across a high wall, over which neither side has a sight of the other.

    This story is telling only half the tale. The voyage in question is being conducted in a yacht. Should it encounter any ice it would struggle. It has now departed Murmansk. The success or failure of this expedition proves nothing. It’s presence in the Arctic does provide an insight into the state of the Arctic ice!

    Arctic ice melt has broken records for the first 6 months of this year, and by a long way.

  75. Wait until the polar bears figure out this new food supply. I can see the headlines now. “Polar bears follow cruise ship routs, population explodes”.

  78. Your story is 2 & 1/2 years old. It was not published in 2016, but in January of 2014. Don’t take my word for it though as here are two other news items on this same subject:

    Why is it that climate change deniers always try to lie?
