In the Arctic, where warming is happening twice as fast as the rest of the planet, a Russian tanker sailed across the Northern Sea Route in record speed and without the aid of an icebreaker for the first time.

No worries, as big oil and its bought "scientists" have taught us there is no global warming. The arctic is still a huge iceblock, that tanker of course sunk in the ice, the crew is just delusional, believing they're still alive. Nothing to see here. Move on and keep burning oil every time you feel like it.

 

Amirite BO?

Burned Out hasn't spotted the sea level rise yet so we are safe.

 

 

On a serious note I think we are fucked - it's not just rising temperatures. Rising population, pressure on food and water, pollution, the current forcing of shifts in social fabric.....

 

Shit I'm starting to sound like my apocalyptic fundie father!

Fake news, just like the hurricane story.

The lower the delivered cost of oil or liquid natural gas, the greater the supply, and possibly a lower cost for natural gas and gasoline at the pump. Cool! Maybe now this northwest passage will be open most summers.
