The rowers have been obscured by clouds for several days, but radar from two days ago shows how close the Beaufort Sea ice was to Cape Parry on Sunday. It is undoubtedly much closer to the rower’s tiny island now, where they are stuck in a storm.
It is dangerous to listen to greedy people who are looking to make money off your suicide mission.

The game is over. There is no “new set of rules.” Just a bunch of true believers stuck in the ice in the Northwest Passage, and a bunch of scientists trying to keep their funding coming in.
Normally the high Arctic has about 90 days above freezing. This year there was less than half that.

Pay no attention to those sunspots.
The IPCC forecasts 8-24 inches of sea level rise this century, but that doesn’t work for alarmists, so they just pull numbers out of their asses in a desperate attempt to steal money and freedom from the public.

But Obama only sees 2,000 jobs from a thriving economy with abundant low cost energy.
My hope would be that any reporter who is looking at the facts would take the time to confirm that the most realistic estimates are this might create maybe 2,000 jobs during the construction of the pipeline — which might take a year or two — and then after that we’re talking about somewhere between 50 and 100 [chuckles] jobs in a economy of 150 million working people.”
The Washington Post did check the facts, and awarded Obama two Pinocchio’s

the job of climate scientists is to tease apart the normal variation from the stuff that’s man-made.

I can be a climate scientist!
The natural part is the cyclical 12C variations.
The man-made part is the 0C variation
The job of skeptics is to tease apart the morons who believe this crap from the intelligent people.
Some mysterious force pulled the rowers 30 km into a headwind on July 24 with the GPS off, and no discussion from the rowers. Had the hand of Gaia not pulled their boat along, their expedition would be over.
Another expedition which was not blessed by the hand of Gaia, has given up because of the ice.
We just had a phone call from Captain Bob, and the news from the boat is not good. The Bernard Explorer is back in Alaska at Barter Island, just west of the Alaska-Yukon border. They had made it all the way to Pullen Island which is quite close to Tuktoyaktuk. However, the ice was so bad that even after getting that far, they had to go all the way back to avoid being trapped by ice. Even with all the talk of global warming and an ice-free Northwest Passage, now we are hearing that this may be the worst ice year for 10 years! Some things are just not predictable anymore.
Why are they letting some rotten, decayed ice stop them?

Drought Drives Kansas Community to Act on Climate
July 25, 2013
According to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s National Drought Mitigation Center, western and central parts of the state experienced the worst conditions. Droughts in these areas were categorized as “Extreme” and “Exceptional.”
“Climate change makes devastating events like drought more frequent and more severe…the time for action is now,” said Giessel.
The exceptional Kansas drought has received 4-12 inches of rain during the past week.
During this week in 1936, two-thirds of the state was over 110 degrees.
Apparently these Kansas geniuses never heard of the Dust Bowl.
What kind of raging moron thinks they can control the climate?
All men are likely to get prostate cancer and all women are likely to get breast cancer before the year 2100.
The precautionary principal demands that the government enforce radical surgery on all men and women.
In organizing their eugenics program the Nazis were inspired by the United States’ programs of forced sterilization, especially on the eugenics laws that had been enacted in California
The Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring, proclaimed on July 14, 1933, required physicians to register every case of hereditary illness known to them, except in women over 45 years of age. Physicians could be fined for failing to comply. In 1934, the first year of the Law’s operation, nearly 4,000 people appealed against the decisions of sterilization authorities. A total of 3,559 of the appeals failed. By the end of the Nazi regime, over 200 Hereditary Health Courts (Erbgesundheitsgerichte) were created, and under their rulings over 400,000 people were sterilized against their will
