Wait a minute! Aren't these the two same doofuses that were going to travel to the Sun at night so they wouldn't get burned? LOL!
We're DOOMED! DOOMED, I tells ya! ;)

Would an honest scientist tell these two pollyannas that its a big universe and our sun is all they have for now.

Article states, ""It's quite astounding to be that close," he said. "They must have thought we were big seals and would be a great meal."
Uhh, Yeah! And this is the "expert" who can confirm global warming! I wonder what he was smoking while in the wilderness.

I doubt it, I'm sure it's just that they ran out of weed.

A little Metallica for them:
I don't know how to live through this hell
Woken up, I'm still locked in this shell
Frozen soul, frozen down to the core
Break the ice, I can't take anymore
Freezing
Can't move at all
Screaming
Can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out
I'm Trapped Under Ice
Crystallized, as I lay here and rest
Eyes of glass stare directly at death
From deep sleep I have broken away
No one knows, no one hears what I say
Freezing
Can't move at all
Screaming
Can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out
I'm Trapped Under Ice
Scream from my soul
Fate, mystified
Hell, forever more
Scream from my soul
Fate, mystified
Hell, forever more
No release from my cryonic state
What is this? I've been stricken by fate
Wrapped up tight, cannot move, can't break free
Hand of doom has a tight grip on me
Freezing
Can't move at all
Screaming
Can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out
I'm Trapped Under Ice
Freezing
Can't move at all
Screaming
Can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out
I'm Trapped Under Ice

A poor workman blames his tools.
These guys blame their inept planning on a false scientific phenomena and cry to all and sundry about it. Bloody whingears !

After 24 days, they were only 45 miles from their starting point - 1,200 miles from their destination at Ward Hunt Island, Canada - and willing to admit defeat at the hands of an earlier-than-normal breakup of arctic ice. They had planned to complete the crossing in 100 days. Hmmmm -- they had planned on averaging over 12 miles a day and actually did under 2 miles a day at the beginning of the trip?? At that rate, it would've taken them almost 2 years to make the trip.

>>> Next year's trip also will enable them to continue talking publicly about the possible impacts of climate change, Larsen said.
"Talking publicly" is all they are about.
The rest is a recitation of various facts and harrowing tribulations about how the Arctic sux as far as non arctic critters are concerned.
Pussies. Anyone who can read knows the place is ever variable and always hostile to couch dwelling Homo spines. The arctic is hostile, if you are going to bi*ch about the conditions, then *don't go you nitwit*. Otherwise should you go, do not try to sell off climatological variations that you recently encountered as the reason the sky shall fall and you could not cover the ground.
Before their next great global warming foray, let us all hope that the polar bears are well fed.
Nature is variable, harsh and unpredictable in the extreme; slush this year in the arctic means nothing.
>>> Larsen admitted being "scared to death"
So he still has some common sense.
Probably bear food though in the end, needing to talk "publicly" about "global warming" being taken into consideration. Likely can't resist the fray.
In the end the bears need to eat too, and they do, that is why there are there.

START EARLIER! Wasn't that the lesson of the Donner Party?
To: Diana in Wisconsin
explorers Lonnie Dupre and Eric Larsen said they believe that climate change caused by global warming is breaking up the ice cap earlier than usual Oh, crap.
I'm sure these two are completely qualified to say their $0.01 worth about global warming.
Oh, crap.
We are DOOMED.

"Even so, Dupre and Larsen, who now live in Grand Marais, Minn., said they both plan to return to the arctic next year to become the first people to ever travel from the geographic North Pole to Greenland - half of this year's planned expedition - without the aid of dog sleds, airdrops of supplies or ships."
Well, these two will be attempting this again next year, so let's just assume that's the last we'll hear from them, LOL!
But if they're killed due to their own stupidity, I'm sure they'll end up Saints & Martyrs for "The Cause" of Global Warming. ;)
This article just totally cracked me up. It's amazing to me that they weren't killed! This reminds me of that guy and his girlfriend who were recently eaten by bears in some wildlife refuge. I can't remember his name, but it was in the last Reader's Digest.
But, but, "Wild bears is our fray-uhnds!" *Rolleyes*

I used to work near Grand Marais, MN. There's a lot of moonbats, new agers, and liberals of all stripes. I don't know these fellas, though.

After four flares did not discourage it, Dupre finally drove it away by firing a .308-caliber rifle shell between its legs. Ouch.
