Y2Kyoto: I’ll Miss The Polar Ice Caps

Fox News;


Jan. 6, 2012: The Coast Guard Cutter Healy breaks ice around the Russian-flagged tanker Renda 250 miles south of Nome. The Healy is the Coast Guard’s only currently operating polar icebreaker. The vessels are transiting through ice up to five-feet thick in this area. The 370-foot tanker Renda will have to go through more than 300 miles of sea ice to get to Nome, a city of about 3,500 people on the western Alaska coastline that did not get its last pre-winter fuel delivery because of a massive storm.

  1. Don’t worry the Arctic ocean ice cap will still come back every winter. Ya know about winter, eh?

  2. “A Russian tanker is inching through thick ice in the Bering Sea en route to delivering fuel to the iced-in western Alaska city of Nome”.
    Russia is delivering fuel to Alaska?

  3. Yep, they can see Russia from their house, remember?
    SDA will reach 25 million visitors about the end of Monday … congrats.

  5. Yeah, it’s the Greenland and Antarctic ice caps on land which will cause flooding when they melt, not the Arctic ice cap on the ocean.

  6. Someday we will be able to ride a jet water ski from Canada into Russia.
    The dead areas will come alive,
    and peace will rule the planet.
    Chicago and Detroit will play in a Super Bowl..

  8. Burning fuel to get another fuel burning ship with bad fossil fuel to a town to help people?
    Suzuki doesn’t care. He just wants those evil conservatives jailed for it.

  10. Suzuki is either warming his buns in Tuvalu or helping Santa paddle his boat back to the Pole.

  11. but wait . . . some idiot Warmonger will confuse weather & climate and make an idiotic statement exposing themselves as a Gorebot following Suzuki believing moron.
    in 3….. 2….. 1…..

  12. “and record high temperatures in AB leaving huge grass fires in its wake”
    last year in our neck of the woods it was a brutally cold winter. This year, way warmer (its great!). That strange phenomenah is called…..now what’s that word for it again…….oh yeah, I remember now…… WEATHER.

  13. If, you look closely, you may be able to see polar bears hiding in the background. They are waiting for sailors or tasty Global Warming Conspiracy types to wander off the ship.

  14. Warren, you surely don’t think there are any US-flagged tankers, do you? There hasn’t been any commercial shipping flagged in the US, or Canada for that matter (except for lake freighters), in decades.

  16. The other question is: It’s the middle of winter and Canada only has ONE ice breaker operational?
    Or is the “polar” icebreaker a designation for a vessel capable of going further North into the ice pack than the other vessels in the fleet?

  20. “So, that explains this:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16439807“
    The recent planet history – for the last 2 million years or so, has been a series of massive glacial advances interspersed with short – 25,000 year +/- interglacial periods when the climate is like what we have.
    As of this year, the current interglacial period is getting very, very long in the tooth and IF the pattern holds, then we are on the verge of the next Ice Age.
    Could start any day now . . .

  21. Anybody got the Google Earth locations for those packs and packs of drowned Polar Bears? 🙂

  22. Am I the only one alarmed by the phrase “The Healy is the Coast Guard’s only currently operating polar icebreaker.”

  24. Hmmm, interesting photo. I thought we were in winter up north, so why am I seeing all that sunshine?

  25. Santa Claus, his reindeer and elves were on that vessel trying to get to their new home !

  26. // They considered going through patches where there might be thinner ice, but determined that that would have taken them on a longer route.”
    […]
    If the mission is successful, it will be the first time petroleum products have been delivered by sea to a Western Alaska community in winter. //
    Suzuki would add that to his list of firsts.

  27. I thought we were in winter up north, so why am I seeing all that sunshine?
    The ships are still south of the Arctic Circle, so there will be some daylight even on the shortest day. If the sky isn’t overcast then the sunlight can reach the earth.

  29. Get a load of North of 60, demonstrating his newfound knowledge about “Winter.” For his next trick, he will talk about “Day.”
    Just point the solar panels at the sun. Indeed. Why didn’t anyone think of that until now?

  30. Requested financial statements from Suzuki . Will wait with baited breath if they show up.

  31. I’m shocked!!! Didn’t Big Al tell the world at the Copenhagen Conference that the polar ice caps would be gone by 2014. It either better start melting soon…….or could Al be lying to us……Al would never do that?????
    Quick somebody send …zuki a telegram to tell him that his beloved polar bears will be safe for a little while longer.

  33. “Am I the only one alarmed by the phrase “The Healy is the Coast Guard’s only currently operating polar icebreaker.””
    Pete, no. You aren’t. I’d be a great deal relieved if I found the Canadians had one or two? Or even the Russians…

  34. Frankly, we’re lucky the Hope and Change Administration didn’t proactively order all icebreakers decommissioned and dismantled because Science! has forecast they won’t be needed anymore.
    I mean, refusal to wholly accept and internalize the AGW faith is a sign of bitter denial and dangerous reactionary zeal right? If what Science!(tm) is saying is true, then by continuing to operate icebreakers, the responsible government is putting politics over Science!(tm).

  35. Instalanche!
    A few google ads wouldn’t be out of place.
    I especially like when the climate keywords bring ads from greenie orgs, and I can click and transfer the money to where it more properly belongs 😉

  37. “Hmmm, interesting photo. I thought we were in winter up north, so why am I seeing all that sunshine?”

    Photographers often realize they get better results when their subject is well lit, so in the few hours of daylight they take nearly all their out door pictures.

  38. Not to mention, look at the length of the shadows. Obviously the sun is very low in the sky. But it is all a hoax, just like the moon landing. If they had taken infrared pictures in the dark, they would have seen bikini clad women frolicking on the beaches under palm trees lit by grow lights.
