Rowers Discover That Mark Serreze’ Linear Trends Are A Bunch Of Breathtakingly Ignorant BS

Posted on August 31, 2013by stevengoddard

It turns out that climate is cyclical, not linear, and does not correlate with CO2.

Our ice router Victor has been very clear in what lies ahead. He writes, “Just to give you the danger of ice situation at the eastern Arctic, Eef Willems of “Tooluka” (NED) pulled out of the game and returning to Greenland. At many Eastern places of NWP locals have not seen this type ice conditions. Residents of Resolute say 20 years have not seen anything like. Its, ice, ice and more ice. Larsen, Peel, Bellot, Regent and Barrow Strait are all choked. That is the only route to East. Already West Lancaster received -2C temperature expecting -7C on Tuesday with the snow.”

Richard Weber, my teammate to the South Pole in 2009 and without doubt the most accomplished polar skier alive today, is owner and operator of Arctic Watch on Cunningham Inlet at the northern end of Somerset Island. Arctic Watch faces out onto our proposed eastern route. Richard dropped me a note the other day advising: “This has been the coldest season with the most ice since we started Arctic Watch in 2000. Almost no whales. The NWPassage is still blocked with ice. Some of the bays still have not melted!”

We row into Cambridge Bay, the official conclusion of our Mainstream Last First expedition – MainStream Last First

   And after all that, they still had the balls to make this statement.

   “…Our message remains unaffected though, bringing awareness to the pressing issues of climate change in the arctic.”

   I remember they made several other noteworthy discoveries:

   1. The bulky boat they had custom-built for their Arctic trip can’t be rowed against the wind.
   2. There is wind in the Arctic.
   3. Their trip was possible because of climate change and no ice.
   4. Their trip was not possible because of bad weather and ice.
   5. The locals told them winters are shorter and warmer.
   6. The locals told them they can’t continue because of winter.
   7. Men who stop shaving grow beards.
   8. Men who stop bathing smell bad.
   9. Smelly men with beards locked in a small cabin during a stupid trip don’t kill each other despite the availability of 2 marine shotguns.

   Did I forget anything else of great societal import?

Team Twisted received a severe spanking, but their documentary will show it to be a total success.
I can’t wait till they make an attempt again next year-:)

The lesson I am taking away from this is that some (most? me too? ) people, even if you beat them over the head with evidence that their belief might be erroneous, continue to believe nevertheless. The Arctic must be warm because the scientists and the Inuit say so. I expect that they will be coming back to try again next year? Some how I think their “belief” will not extend to that.
I wonder if their experience will have had a chilling effect on expeditions being planned for next year.
Maybe next year the heat will emerge from the oceans as Joule-zilla.

Andy and Stephen are correct in their assessments.
These buffoons will probably go back to Vancouver; get a Government grant and mount the piece of junk…….sorry…… the Arctic Joule, on a pedestal, with a big plaque that boasts of their great feat of “bringing awareness to the pressing issues of climate change in the arctic.”

AND LETS NOT FORGET WHO IS CRAZY TO CONTINUE ROWING SOLO FROM TUKTOYAKTUK TO CAMBRIDGE IN SEPTEMBER IS CHARLES HEDRICH.
