Default Melting Icecaps

Say, didn't the world of extremely weird jackass environmentalists tell us
that the North Pole was going to be ice free this year leading to global
warming of deadly effect?

Hmm, seems as how the arctic ice cap is larger this year than last.

I suppose a certain "scientist" who only believes "real scientists" who
posts here is probably not going to say anything about his pal scientists
mistaken guesses for the future.

Now we know that the Tour de France is really over.

From that link:
"The ice retreated to a record level in September when the Northwest
Passage, the sea route through the Arctic Ocean, opened briefly for
the first time in recorded history."

That article obviously isn't aware that Marco Polo sailed to the North
Pole.

I think it's more correct to say it's 50-50 whether or not Marco Polo ever
sailed to the North Pole.

Some say that the world was so much warmer during the Medieval Warm Period
that it would have been possible for Marco Polo to travel to the North Pole
by camel train. This theory will be vindicated when the retreating ice on
Ellesmere Island uncovers the remains of ancient rice paddies.

Amundsen used the NW Passage in 1905.

I hope that's not your way of suggesting that Amundsen was gay.

That doesn't count. Nor the Chinese ships of exploration in the early 1400's
that didn't find any ice along the northern coast at all.

Well, he started in 1903, so it's not like he encountered wide-open water
and smooth sailing.

The Chinese however, well, they sailed right on through 500 years before,
colonizing the East Coast of the N. American continent. But then they all
decided to return to China because they figured they would be back later to
build the railroads.

No, they left because Jews hadn't arrived in North
America yet, so it was harder to make a go of running
a Chinese restaurant.
