From Maritime and Crimean Shipping News
Erofey Schkvarkin News September 4, 2019 4:09 am
Arctic tours ship MS MALMO with 16 passengers on board got stuck in ice on Sep 3 off Longyearbyen, Svalbard Archipelago, halfway between Norway and North Pole. The ship is on Arctic tour with Climate Change documentary film team, and tourists, concerned with Climate Change and melting Arctic ice. All 16 Climate Change warriors were evacuated by helicopter in challenging conditions, all are safe. 7 crew remains on board, waiting for Coast Guard ship assistance.
Something is very wrong with Arctic ice, instead of melting as ordered by UN/IPCC, it captured the ship with Climate Change Warriors.

The mocking tone of this article is palpable. I wonder if it has anything to do with the author having spent 20 years at sea. How many climate warriors set foot on a ship for the first time, yet due to their “wokeness” already knew everything there was to know about arctic sea ice?
How much fossil fuel energy went into the making of this venture and ensuing rescue?
This has a good summary of other Ships of Fools:

Will we soon be adding another one to the list?
Ah, Schadenfreude! Ain’t it great?
I have a climate change car and willing to fly you anywhere in the World for free.
From the picure/map it appears to have ran into an island. Am I missing something?
No it got stuck in ice at the southern end of Hinlopen strait.
Warmunists: “You think you’re smarter than the thousands of scientists warning us about global warming?”
You mean like the scientists that call themselves experts in Arctic sea ice who get themselves trapped in and have to be rescued from Arctic sea ice?
Little bit.
Apparently they were trying to retrace the route of the Ahlmann expedition with Quest in 1931 that made the first accurate survey of the Nordaustland and Kvitöya and also visited Franz Josephs land.
However 1931 was a very good ice year in the Barents sea area, while 2019 is not, so they failed, despite being nearly a month later than Quest, when ice is at a minimum. Must be a bit embarassing.
Details about the 1931 expedition:

There should be a public service announcement attached to any film about the melting Arctic that reads:
No ice was harmed in the making of this film.
In this case, I wonder how many tons of innocent ice will be disturbed in an attempt to get that ship moving.
Ice murderers !!
Same ol’ story:
“Climate Change warriors were evacuated by helicopter in challenging conditions, all are safe.
7 crew remains on board, waiting for Coast Guard ship assistance.”

Let’s see if the “Climate Change warriors” are ready to pay back the rescue costs:

Arctic most endangered by – tourists:
“Arved Fuchs, a German adventurer and the first person to reach both the north and south poles on foot in a year, said: “The number of cruise ships is rising, that’s the crux. And the bigger the ship, the more problematic this is. Party ships have no place in the Arctic,” he told the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung in an interview.
Fuchs, a celebrated environmentalist who runs an annual climate camp to teach European students about global warming, said he had witnessed small Inuit villages being inundated by day trippers spilling out of cruise ships.
“Some of the small Inuit villages are regularly flooded with cruise ship passengers,” he said. “They do nothing more than gawp and give little back to the people who live there. The visitors are the only ones to profit, not the residents.””

Leaves the question:
Why didn’t climate saviour Greta Thunberg ask Arved Fuchs for a hike over stormy Atlantic ocean.

Leaves the question:
Why will that sweet little 6teens tell us about “Climate Change”.
Not only
– thei’re only 16 years, what do they know.
– they strike school “for their cause”, what CAN they know.
But too:
What kind of POLITICIANS rely on tales of climate worriers, what do THAT kind of politicians know!
Tales Of Brave Ulysses
song by Cream
You thought the leaden winter
Would bring you down forever
But you rode upon a steamer
To the violence of the sun
And the colors of the sea
Blind your eyes with trembling mermaids
And you touch the distant beaches
With tales of brave Ulysses
How his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing
For the sparkling waves are calling you
To touch their white laced lips
And you see a girl’s brown body
Dancing through the turquoise
And her footprints make you follow
Where the sky loves the sea
And when your fingers find her
She drowns you in her body
Carving deep blue ripples
In the tissues of your mind
Tiny purple fishes
Run laughing through your fingers
And you want to take her with you
To the hard land of the winter
Her name is Aphrodite
And she rides a crimson shell
And ou know you cannot leave her
For you touched the distant sands
With tales of brave Ulysses
How his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing
Tiny purple fishes
Run laughing through your fingers
And ou want to take her with you
To the hard land of the winter

They wasted all that money on a helicopter rescue? I could’ve just made a few extra trips to Costco in my oversized SUV and climate changed them out of that ice
It could not have happened to a more deserving bunch. One cannot help but laugh.
As they say, you would have to have a heart of stone not to laugh.
The article says halfway between Norway and the North Pole. Sigh. Svalbard IS Norway. The writer should have said the Norwegian mainland instead of Norway. That might seem picky to many, but I am an American whose roots all go back to Norway.
Funny how these adventures abandon ship and never are seen again . Reality check completed . The
shear terror of hearing your boat get crunched has that effect . I wonder if they sat around telling Franklin
stories ?
Who picked up the rescue tab ?
It’s actually MS Malmö, not MS Malmo.
“Upside down déjà vu all over again”?
Hi Charles/Anthony,
Are you aware that the original source of this “story” has published a correction? If not please see:
http://GreatWhiteCon.info/2019/09/ship-of-fools-iii-escapes-arctic-sea-ice/
Will you be following suit? FYI here is a picture of all the sea ice off Longyearbyen, courtesy of Joss Stone:

You probably won’t publish this, but the leader of the expedition has said they were NOT “climate warriors” and were not making a documentary. They were a bunch of middle aged guys following the path of an earlier expedition.
The leader told a local newspaper that he had tried to correct the misinformation, but had no reply from the blog that apparently kicked off the incorrect claim about them being “climate warriors”.
See https://svalbardposten.no/nyheter/ut-mot-massiv-feilinformasjon/19.11400
There’s been no reply here from Charles/Anthony yet either Chris! Unless I blinked and missed it?
However the original source of the Norwegian language misinformation has published a correction. See my link above.
The real test is: how many of them changed their minds about being fried in 11 years and 7 months?
In the centerfold of the 09.2019 issue of National Geographic (a subscription gifted to me by a warming alarmist hoping to help me get my mind right) we find an image of the Arctic from a year ago showing the area in question ice-free. It could be a fluke, but we get to claim that the region gained sea ice from the previous year, and employ their data in the process. Let’s get back to air and water quality and proper disposal of trash.
Hi Bruce,
What are your thoughts regarding this point on a more recent thread?
