All they wanted to do was see polar bears. And talk climate alarmism. But, mostly bears
I joined the Fram in Tromso, where Hurtigruten’s expedition cruise ship was making its debut ‘Climate Pilgrimage’. and what better classroom for learning about climate change than Spitsbergen, the Norwegian island home to the world’s most northern community of polar researchers. We set off, sailing past Tromso’s beautiful arctic cathedral.
Tony Michael, the only other Briton on board, was hoping for debate about climate change. But most of us were hoping hard for encounters with polar bears.
So, how’d that go, initially?
An eerie crack, crack, crack woke me the next morning. We were surrounded by ice and prevented from visiting the permanent Polish polar research station in Hornsund.
Bummer. Mother nature does what she will. They did eventually get to see some polar bears in the frozen tundra.
Say, how much CO2 did this trip put out?
Global warming causes ice in the arctic. Little known fact.
Kevin, Kevin. You silly ignorant boob.
Haven’t you learnt anything by now?
A consensus scientists have confirmed that it’s the ship’s particulates and outgasses that have caused the ice to accumulate around the ship.
The denialists believe it was the polar bear god that rose up and defended his children from the human invasion.
gee Teach is this an example of that GLOBAL COOLING? I don’t think sooo it looks like another TOP 5 hottest year record in 2010http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/?report=global&year=2010&month=8
And didn’t we also have a VERY LOW arctic ise extent again this year ?
Unable to provide you any information about the amount of C02 it puts out. BUT I do hope that the info on jet travel was useful. An educated guess would be that this also was a rather efficient means of travel, as are most ships. This one has a top speed of 13 knots so she probably is quite fuel effect. much more so than traveling alone on a 4 wheel drive SUV
and they did get to land later that day Teach don’t you just HATE it when rich people act like enviros ?

HOLY HECK JOHN!!! What does any of that mean?!!?!? Can you even supply one ounce of logic any more? You used to be fun to debate. Now, your insane and inane comments are just obscene.
