----------------------------------------"Very unexpectedly we ran into the ice pack" http://mainstreamlastfirst.com/a-lesson-in-patience-for-denis/ "The planned crossings have not been possible because of the ice coverage and the danger of ending up in a soup of massive icebergs" You have to feel sorry for them they have been told that Arctic would be ice free at this time of year and they have picked a really bad year for it. I just hope no-one loses their life over it. The only thing that both teams have highlighted are the dangers inherent in polar expeditions. This year the north polar ice cap is stubbornly refusing to go away while the South breaks new records for it's (increased) extent [Edit 1 times, last edit by David Autumns at Aug 4, 2013 7:25:55 AM] |

Is anyone ever going to stand up and say the World isn't warming as was previously claimed? True, it is burning up in some places faster than expected. http://www.climatecentral.org/blogs/sunburn-i...-leads-to-wildfires-16313 And the resulting loss of Arctic ice leads to the increased evaporation that is giving Europe the big snows. Your progress should be in the direction of better cave designs. |

In order to extract the brown coal from the ground this winter, RWE will cut down 3,900 hectares of the 12,000-year-old oak and hornbeam Hambach forest, leaving just 300 hectares in tact.
