They better take some hot sauce too so the bears can spice up their delicious meal of AGW believers. Although, with the huge decrease (not!) in polar bear populations, they'll probably never even see one. If they do they'll have to change their onesies. "It's so warm that the uniform of the day will be shorts and t-shirts. Bring plenty of sunscreen."

But what about the whales? Do they have a plan in case they come to face to face with one?? I would suggest taking off and nuking it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Bringing a shotgun to kill a bear? That’s like throwing bricks into the Grand Canyon.

Bringing a shotgun to kill a bear? Thats like throwing bricks into the Grand Canyon. Not with proper ammo. If they're carrying a 12 gauge loaded with slugs, they're well armed against the threat of a polar bear.
To: rktman
They are the only animal out there that will actively hunt down a human being, said seasoned adventurer Kevin Vallely Apparently, Kevin has never heard of lions or tigers. "Seasoned" my eye...
To: Thorliveshere
“The team will also carry shotguns to kill the animals if necessary.”
Probably with bird shot! Perhaps with rifled slugs they might have a chance but nonetheless for anything I would encounter out in the Polar region, I want nothing less than a 375HandH.

Seasoned as in “pass the Tony Chachere’s and some of that McIlhenney’s Tobasco too.” I believe that wolves will actively track your butt down and eat you too. Sounds like these asshats were edumacated in Dumbassistan.

He needs to read some of Capstick’s books. DEATH IN THE LONG GRASS, MANEATERS.

Um Kevin, what about grizzly bears (ask Timothy Treadwell. Oh, nevermind, he and his girlfriend are bear scat now.
What about wolves? There was an interesting incident just a week or so ago in Banff National Park where a wolf tried catching a motorcyclist.
Even black bears have been known to hunt humans.
Mr. Vallely, your “adventures” evidently don’t include much in the way of wild predators.
Gaia protect you, because I get the impression you’re a member of the church of algore.

Most adult female grizzlies weigh 130200 kg (290440 lb), while adult males weigh on average 180360 kg (400790 lb).
A male polar bear weighs around 350700 kg (7701,500 lb), while an adult female is about half that size.Shotgun seems to be a pretty short range weapon to TRY to kill a freight train coming at you at 25 mph. And the bear CAN run in snow...

And, they have no problem swimming in open water (from the pictures with the ice flows photo shopped out) and even diving down a little bit too. Be a pity if they were to turn the row boat over and dump their yummy dinner in the sub-tropical waters of the arctic ocean. Why it’s almost like a tropical vacation. LOL!

I wonder if these are the same ass clowns that sank the old Russian derelict cruise ship (MS Explorer) in Antarctica in 2007 causing a massive diesel and oil spill?
