“I am spending my days paddling in ice-cold water with a frozen, painful backside, trying to bring to the attention of the world and its leaders the necessity of stopping the world heating up.”
May a polar bear put them out of their misery.

Great article in the National Post from an Australian scientist who used to work measuring carbon levels being captured or released in Oz. He now thinks that the whole carbon-caused global warming theory is bunk, and lists a number of reasons for believing so. Here’s the link:

KevinB — thanks for posting that link. I tried to find it over the weekend after I’d in the paper, but I guess it wasn’t placed online until the last day or two.
It’s a must read for the skeptic and believer alike.
Kate:

Yes their quality of life has deteriated. Time Mother Nature put an end to these evolutionary dead ends. They can add some valuable minerals to the biosphere as bear spoor. lol You kill me Kate
Correct me if I am wrong, but they are just human beings, and as far as I know, they havent called for you, Kate or Revnant, to be put out of your misery.
Call me a bleeding heart liberal if you must, but you really must learn not to hope for someones death. They have an opinion and they are entitled to it. But that is perhaps to much to ask of our free speech brethern such as yourself.
They do what they believe in, but at least they dont spend hours hoping for your deaths. Perhaps it is those who are filled with venom and anger who should be put out of their misery. The world would certainly be a better place without the latter.
Socrates, I suspect they wouldn’t be in the predicament they’re in if they acknowledged that the predicted vanishing Arctic ice is bunkem. I don’t want to pay to send out the rescue team. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
If and when the radical Islamists achieve their world domination goals there is a strong possibility that “bleeding heart liberals” will be put out of their misery.Are you up for that Socrates?
Socrates, somehow I don’t think Kate, or any other commentor here for that matter, is spending hours hoping for their deaths.
Frankly, when I heard of this folly my thought was “a$$hole” and moved on to more important things in my life.
What else are the poor starving things supposed to eat? Winter is coming. Or, at least it used to, eh?
But But I thought the “ice bears” were going extinct? 88 in a small area that is suppossedly unihabitale for them now that there is SOOOO much less ice.
It isnt wishing for their deaths, more seeing the possibility of a Shakespearean like result or if there is a Greek Chorus around then some truely poetic life comes full circle stuff
Socrates:
In seven sentences you managed to preach about not wishing death on people and closed by doing exactly the same yourself.
No contradiction there.
And what, Socrates, do you think would happen if these imbeciles were able to convince the politicians to force us all to the Global Warming Hysteric’s agenda?
Millions would die of starvation, that’s what.
Put them out of their misery?
No, they should be put out of OUR misery.

Northwest Passage
Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea;
Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea.
Westward from the Davis Strait ’tis there ’twas said to lie
The sea route to the Orient for which so many died;
Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones
And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones.
Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland
In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his “sea of flowers” began
Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again
This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain.
And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west
I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest
Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me
To race the roaring Fraser to the sea.
How then am I so different from the first men through this way?
Like them, I left a settled life, I threw it all away.
To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men
To find there but the road back home again.

The sea route to the Orient for which so many died
Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered broken bones
And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones

In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his “sea of flowers” began
Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again

northwest passage and warm seem to go together so well.

Socrates, perhaps you are right we are being harsh in our judgement of the “intrepid kayakers” they could have enriched some forlorn polar bears diet but.. but no
one can eat that s**t, besides I think the outcome would be much better if instead of freezing their bums off. Would it not be better outcome if they froze their b***s off and were unable to pass on their defective genes>
Cheers Bubba
Today’s commentary from the intrepid kayakers: they’re stuck in the ice!
http://tomnelson.blogspot.com/2008/09/alarmist-kayaker-already-in-ice-at.html
What does global warming have to do with islamic terror-ists?
Or am I to assume that it is okay to wish for the death of one group of people because a third group of people wish death upon a second group of people. What dramatic obfuscation. Mourinho-esque even.
Steve, let us wait for them to request the assistance of a rescue team before assuming they need one.
Texas Canuck, does that term come to your mind often when someone does something that you disagree with, even if it has no bearing on you? I would call Frasier. Crane, of course. Or Dr Phil, if you will.
Ghost of ed, I am glad somebody picked up on it. I was hoping somebody would, to let me expound further. Of course I am only advocating it for people who are angry. Like, but (apparently) not limited to, the islamofascists. Some people here seem to fall under the category of ‘venom ous and hate ful’ too. Hardly my fault.
Bubba, lets not preach defective genes shall we. Bad temperament and inherent venom is also linked to defective genes, which might unwittingly put you and other social eugenicists in the same category as the harmless twits freezing their asses off.
Grow up, children. Let the anger out. Go shoot a small animal, or something equally cowardly, if thats what helps you keep your peace of mind. I would rather see you manning the front lines in Iraq, but, well, armchair heroes wilt in the battlefield.
Socrates;
You are not.
Adventures in Arctic Kayaking – Update: we’re stuck
3 09 2008
UPDATE: kayakers already “stuck” in ice at 80.52397 degrees N
“We’re stuck”
I have slept poorly. The floating ice, while thin, is so prevalent that, throughout the night, it grinds noisily against the side of the boat in a slightly alarming fashion – imagine someone scraping their nails across an old-fashioned blackboard.The then begins earlier than normal and, unusually, I am not woken by Robbie bounding into my room. Instead the ship’s engine roars to life earlier than normal – at around 5.30 – and the MV ‘Havsel’ begins to judder ominously. I clamber out of bed and scramble up to the bridge – all the ship’s crew are there, and they look serious. I look outside and I can see why. The sea is almost entirely congested with ice floes – I would estimate 80% plus of the sea is covered by them. There is a real risk that we could get stuck up here. We have drifted in the night into a much icier area than where we stopped last night. I wake up the team, and everyone groggily makes their way to the bridge. There’s a mixed reaction in the team to the prospect of getting stuck up here.”

Well,that’s it Kate. Gotta report you to PETA for such cruelity to polar bears as suggesting they eat these disgusting slime..(/sarc for all you lefties) If they are getting stuck,as maz2’s link suggests,all I can hope for is they end up on the Russki side of the Arctic when the spring thaw comes.
There’s a mixed reaction in the team…
“On the one hand, this is bad news ’cause it kind of contradicts what we’ve been saying. On the other hand, it makes our agenda-driven escapade more perilous and thus tasty for media attention. On the third hand, I’m starting to get really scared of unpredictable mother nature – damn all the greenhouse gases needed, get us the hell out of here!”
The Arctic has no mercy for the unprepared or the foolish, be warned!
So Lewis “Numbnutz” Pugh is not the only one …?
Pugh ….
