"The next alarmist PR debacle will come from Italian adventurer Alex Bellini.He plans to live on an iceberg in a kevlar boat/shelter for eight to 12 months to “to demonstrate just how quickly things are changing” in the arctic.
His plan is to park his boat/shelter on an iceberg off Greenland this spring, and float around for a while “documenting the melting process as [the iceberg] disappears completely.”
Bellini might be up there a while.
Arctic sea ice levels are up 30 percent this winter, and ice levels at both poles combined is above the long-term average.
But here’s the thing: Ice builds in the arctic every winter, then as spring and then summer comes, those icebergs melt.
Bellini will only be dramatically “documenting” something that is entirely natural and happens every year."
