Watts Up With That? also has the story of the NBC News team that have been in the Arctic for three weeks and counting. Today correspondent Peter Alexander and a three-man crew had headed north to report on massive Arctic ice loss due to global warming, and they’ve been stuck in the, uh, ice, ever since.

No word on whether they have a bar on board.

I await the NBC News story on the healthy state of the Arctic ice sheet. OK, not really. Doubtless, we’ll see a predictable story on how global warming makes weather unpredictable, with lots of footage of polar bears (a.k.a. ursus maritimus) swimming.
