A four-man crew is embarking today to row through the Northwest Passage in about 80 days. The feat has been made possible by global warming, which has freed Arctic waterways of more ice than ever.

The rowers hope to draw attention to the effects of climate change, the Ottawa Citizen reported.

In 2007, however, U.S. scientists reported that the Northwest Passage was completely free of ice for the first time since satellite tracking began in 1978.

The current heat wave over California, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico has temperatures hitting triple digits, with little relief at night. Hot weather is also baking the rest of the far West, including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and parts of Utah and Montana.

Instead of NASA’s fake meltdown, what we are actually seeing is new ice burying the research station.

People keep moving into Ponderosa Pine forest, and most refuse to keep an adequate firebreak (1oo yards) around their house.

Then they expect someone to rescue them when fires do occur, as they have done every 10-20 years for the past few million years.

This house in Colorado burned last month.

We have often noticed that in the tabular statements of those compilers of weather records who write to the Times, useful and welcome as their communications are, every season is sure to be “extraordinary,” almost every month one of the driest or wettest, or windiest, coldest or hottest, ever known. Much observation, which ought to correct a tendency to exaggerate, seems in some minds to have rather a tendency to increase it.
