In a world first, an exploration team has proved that it's possible to drive from Russia to Canada.

To achieve this feat, the team from Russia used modified buses with huge tires to carry them across the frozen wastes. In a trip that took them over two-and-a-half months, the explorers traveled over 4,000km at an average of 10km per hour.

Excellent observation!

One thing you have to admire about the Russians is that they seem to have resisted the stupid cultural trends and decadent bandwagons that Americans and Europeans have embraced so passionately.

The Russians seem to have an itch for truth and reality to which Western decadents have anesthetized themselves. Denial is a powerful anesthetic.

Seriously now, you don’t really believe the Russians buy into that claptrap when they live right next door to the ice?

Unexplained-mysteries.com in an apt metaphorical placement for an article that will never see the light of day in the so-called “LIV-MSM”, as no climate news is news unless it supports the hysterical consensus.

What say you Anthony Watts?

I remember when Americans used to have a can-do spirit.

Used to be somebody would try to drive across Lake Erie from Cleveland to Canada every once and a while. I think one person actually made it.

I guess the “endangered” polar bears just need a fleet of those modified buses to get around.

But, but, but how can this be? The Warmists have convinced everyone that the polar ice caps are all but gone, and all the polar bears are swimming for their lives.

You see, it just didn’t happen. If Minitrue doesn’t tell us about it it really just didn’t happen.

I’d just use a ground effect vehicle. Much quicker that way.
