Fuck your boat. Al Gore made a movie claiming The fucking ice will be gone in ten years, he said that back in 2013.

Cold War keeps getting colder

Ancient narrative continues to grow older

Russia has seven nuclear powered icebreakers in operation. The US has THREE and all of them are diesel electric.

I totally get that. But the US has just 3 and the most recent one is 25 years old. We should have 4 and maybe one is a nuke powered.
