I thought the Noth West Passage was ice free? Must have been stuck on all those polar bear carcasses.

Uhhh, ever hear of winter? And it wasn't in the NW Passage, it was in entrance to the St. Lawrence Seaway...but then you would have actually had to have read the article...

But the UN and Al Gore told us all that the arctic was clear of ice because people like you own a car.

Translation: I didn't bother reading the article, I just wanted to be a smartass...

Read Arctic Front by Ken Coates et al and you'll see there are very real issues with the melting of the polar ice cap.
