More than 20 yachts that had planned to sail it have been left ice-bound and a cruise ship attempting the route was forced to turn back.<br /><br />Some eminent scientists now believe the world is heading for a period of cooling that will not end until the middle of this century – a process that would expose computer forecasts of imminent catastrophic warming as dangerously misleading. <i><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2415191/Global-cooling-Arctic-ice-caps-grows-60-global-warming-predictions.html" target="_blank">Continue reading at dailymail.co.uk</a>.</i><br /><br />Thanks, Akito.</div>
