"Green Sailors" Trapped in the Arctic

The BBC said the arctic would be ice free by 2013!  And the liberals KNOW the BBC is never wrong... so some sailors brought their boats up there hoping to be the first dudes to sail through the Northwest Passage.

Now here is the problem...the ice came on so fast that their boats are stuck in the ice.

So much for scientists KNOWING what's up with "man-made climate change".

Churchville, VA—The naïve advice of ardent activists can kill. Last spring, Paul Beckwith of Sierra Club Canada predicted that the Arctic seas would be ice-free ice this summer. (So did Britain’s BBC network.)  This exciting adventure opportunity attracted a variety of yachts, sailboats, rowboats, and kayaks owners to try sailing the fabled Northwest Passage.

As a former sailboat owner I can understand their excitement, but my heart aches for the agonies they now face. The Arctic sea ice suddenly expanded 60% this fall, after the coldest summer in the modern Alaska temperature record. The passage is now impassable. More than a dozen of the boats are trapped, apparently even including a group of tiny American jet-ski “personal watercraft” that were attempting to cross from the east coast of Russia to the North Atlantic.  Arctic observers are now warning that even Canadian icebreakers might not be able to rescue them.

The boaters ignored major warning signs. The planet has not warmed appreciably in at least 15 years. NASA told us in 2007 that the Pacific Ocean had shifted into the cool phase of its 60-year cycle and that fact predicted cooler winters until 2030.

Friends, I'm 100% in favor of taking care of our planet, our streams, lakes, rivers, farmland etc... but pretty sure God is in control of ocean currents, rainfall, storms, clouds, solar storms, ocean tides, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes.

Someone should notify Al Gore and give him this inconvenient Truth.
