| 1363737 | 2013-12-28 01:14:00 | LOL....ah but no doubt this all chunks of ice that have broken off due to warming and thus have got in the way of the boats. You know a very long time ago, the antarctic had plants? Climate has changed several times since the planet started to grow things...I don't know all those naughty trilobites and other life driving around, buring fossil fuels and so on...look what they'd caused! |

| 1363738 | 2013-12-28 04:25:00 | The inconvenient truth is that that damn ice is much thicker than It's supposed to be. Probably thanks to more misinformation from the "Green Brigade". :rolleyes: Then, don’t forget last week we had the Summer Solstice which I celebrated by having to put on a jersey whilst mumbling obscenities about “Global Warming”. :mad: Finally, what the "Green Brigade" would prefer you to forget is that Roald Amundsen managed to transverse the North West Passage over a hundred years ago in this “ship”. 5424 Hardly an Icebreaker. :D |

| 1363742 | 2013-12-29 19:25:00 | :lol: I can only conclude it was much warmer 100 odd years ago and much less pack ice but Global Cooling has changed all that. Now we have fully grown, high powered, Icebreakers stuck in the ice where this old dunger and similar ships sailed. 5425 Yet still the Media and their Green Disciples prattle on about Global Warming. |

You must have got it wrong, B.M. In fact, it was much colder 100 years ago. What you see is Motu Kokako (Piercy Island) in the icy barren coast of the Bay of Islands. The Aurora is pictured just having sailed through the Hole in the Rock. ;) |

| 1363745 | 2013-12-29 19:39:00 | "Global Warming" was a misnomer, too simplified, the fact is there is more waste thermal energy in the world atmospheric system due to increased human activity. This increased "heating", results in more energy destabilizing the dynamic balance of the weather systems around the world, think of a sin wave tending to a square wave as limits are encountered. The result of this is disrupted, random, extreme weather events randomly all over Earth, both hot and cold, as the extra energy extends the feedback loops, (which held the relatively benign weather patterns we have experienced over recent human times in relative stability), to their limits and beyond. We are definitely seeing this happening. You cannot look at individual cooling events and infer that this means 'Global Warming" is not happening. You have to look at the world system and general trends like big increases in human population and their disruptive activities. My opinion is that the die is now cast and nothing we do now will do much to alter us heading towards an uncertain and maybe runaway climate future with and end result of another ice age sooner rather than later. So consume and pollute away, continue as normal. |
