I don’t like to gloat when Global Warming alarmists get it so very wrong. Erm, ok I love to gloat when they get it alarmingly wrong.
Right now I’m sniggering at the mad people who decided to row a boat to the North Pole. Apparently they decided to row there to highlight the fact that the polar ice caps are melting and it’s all our fault.
Well, of course, not only are the ice caps not getting smaller, but they’re not even rowing to the true North or to the actual magnetic North, but to where magnetic North once was back in 1996. The real magnetic North Pole keeps moving (about 41 kilometres a year, and getting faster) and is in fact currently 738 kilometres further, erm, north (well, north north west) of the safer location they’ve decided to row to.
Also, the real North Pole is actually completely covered in ice so it would be impossible to row to.
But, as with all things Global Warming alarmists do, the facts don’t need to get in the way of a good story.
Sponsored by a whisky company, but unfortunately only really managing to get press coverage in the Big Issue and other liberal left news media that supports the Global warming religion, this publicity stunt has come to an abrupt halt.
The reason?
Too much ice.
Ha ha ha ha.
Yep, the expedition to highlight how the ice caps are melting has been iced in. How embarrassing.
It appears that they encountered far greater sea ice than they wanted to believe would be there, and had to backtrack to land for safety. They’ve been stuck there ever since.
I’m sure Global Warming will be blamed for too much ice when they work out how to spin this one to ensure it’s still all our fault!
