   Polar bears are really looking for food, like Ring seals, and foolish humans like the rowers.

   Seal huggers must not be happy, the more ice the more seals die or is it the other way around. I do know penguin populations have been declining but the sea ice around Antarctica has been increasing yearly with their populations. Longer walk to waters edge.

   No blowtorch yet, just a lot of blowhards instead.

   PETA wants to save the polar bears and has sent food parcels up to them. In a rowboat, some kayaks and a catamaran. Bon apetit!

   In comparing the above extent map, that doesn’t jive with ice concentrations from Canada or MASIE near the Alaskan coast that are above the 15% threshold for NSIDC extent.

   Here is how Climate News Network trumpeted the start of the Rowing Team epic. No updates on progress (or lack thereof) so far.
