North West Passage blocked with ice - yachts caught

The Northwest Passage after decades of so-called global warming has a dramatic 60% more Arctic ice this year than at the same time last year. The future dreams of dozens of adventurous sailors are now threatened. A scattering of yachts attempting the legendary Passage are caught by the ice, which has now become blocked at both ends and the transit season may be ending early. Douglas Pohl tells the story:

The Passage has become blocked with 5/10 concentrated drifting sea ice at both the eastern and at the western ends of Canada’s Arctic Archipelago. At least 22 yachts and other vessels are in the Arctic at the moment. Some who were less advanced have retreated and others have abandoned their vessels along the way. Still others are caught in the ice in an unfolding, unresolved drama.​

Blocked with ice...er, just as predicted by the AGW Models, yeah, that's right, right on target, because when it's warmer from AGW the ice increases.

Yeah, that's the ticket!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Wait, it's weather

Right, it's only climate when the ice melts, otherwise its climate, er I mean weather

Frank Zappa's answer is the correct one.

Denialists, can you please get a room? No one wants to see this kind of circle jerk out in public.

This is what denialism is now reduced to, a pack of retard political cultists getting off on verbal mutual masturbation.

Tell that to the sailors caught in the ice, dumbass.

How much significance do you really think this report possesses? You're putting this up against satellite images and gravimetric data. Do you actually think a handful of sailboats getting caught in some ice refutes all of that?

C'mon Dave, get real.
