Climahysterics To Take Melting Arctic Cruise On Fossil Fueled Ship

I must say that I am impressed that Warmist Kelsey D. Athernon has noted the hypocrisy

Climate Change Cruise Will Bring Tourists Across The Melted Arctic

See the effects of global warming while contributing to them!

Polar bears are the largest land predators in the world. Confined to arctic climes, they are huge, powerful swimmers, and deadly hunters. In addition to being the second-best bear, they risk going extinct from global warming’s environmental changes. Thanks to an offering by a luxury cruise line, customers can take a cruise through the newly navigable arctic, and try to see polar bears struggling to stay alive on what remains of Arctic ice.

No, most polar bear populations are doing fine, and, realistically, how did they survive during the previous warm periods, which were much warmer? They apparently did survive. Hey, how did they survive during the cold periods, when there was too little open water for them to hunt?

Call it “environmental disaster tourism.” Crystal Cruises is selling an Arctic cruise on the ship Crystal Serenity, which sounds more like a tea sold to tourists in Santa Fe than an ocean-going vessel. Crystal Serenity weighs over 68,000 tons, is 13 decks tall, and can house 1,070 customers.  Bargain-basement book-now prices run just shy of $20,000, though more discerning disaster-watchers can pay $44,000 for a penthouse suite on the inaugural northwest passage trip.

Not cheap. This allows a bunch of richy rich Warmists the opportunity to see an Arctic which is doing quite well this year while not having to mix with the riff raff.

Incidentally, the carbon footprint of a cruise ship, per passenger, is three times larger than that of a 747 flight. For a trip focused on witnessing first-hand environmental catastrophe largely caused by carbon dioxide, it’s odd that the phrase “carbon footprint” appears nowhere on the page announcing the special offer, or the cruise’s FAQ.

Good for you, Kelsey, noting the hypocrisy.

    Hi there, yup this article is actually fastidious and I have learned lot of things from it about blogging.
    thanks.

    And now you’re against capitalism! A cruise company sees an opportunity to make money delivering a service that people will pay for and you oppose it!

    You’ve repeated your canard that most polar bear populations are doing fine. Some are, some aren’t.

    As far as the evidence shows, it has never been warmer during the Holocene than now.

    So there was no open water when the Earth was cooler? All the water was frozen during the last glacial period? It’s surprising that life survived at all!

    How old is the polar bear species? No idea? I’m not surprised.

    At the minimum rate, $21,400,000 will be spent by the eco-tourists. That would pay the salaries of two Greenpeace executives and 21,000,000 for replanting a forest. Or maybe they will need the money to pay for the ice breakers to come to the rescue. Is the voyage only serving organic vegan fare and water to save the planet? This trip is so wrong on so many levels. air and land travel to the port of departure and port of arrival. The ship fuel burned for sightseeing when a Youtube video would suffice for most of the sights. One third of the time will be spent sleeping which could be done at home between videos.
    Wake me up when warmists begin to live like they believe their own bull sh*t.

    Should be a nice cruise because there’s not supposed to be any ice left…uh oh!
