In 2014 Climate Cult Kool Aid Drinking yuppie tourists were going to make a point about global warming because “No Polar ice, dude.” They got stuck in the ice that was always there but that they’d been told was gone and had to be rescued.
It just happened again.
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.
Any real adventure must include the unexpected otherwise, it’s not an adventure at all, right?
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.”
Julie the cruise director has some explaining to do. They are nowhere near the ice that isn’t supposed to be there but they are already stuck in…ice.
The original Polar Ocean Challenge needs a new objective. One for which they will have ample time and energy to complete. Who among the participants will do the best job at spinning this PR disaster on their professional resume?
To be honest, it should not be all that difficult. These people peddle in and consume lies daily. Tweaking a failed expedition on a curriculum vitae should be a walk in a park clogged with snow which is, by the way, caused by global warming.
