Al Gore Effect in Full Swing
God is laughing again. An expedition to the North Pole was been called off due to frostbite.
The explorers, Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen, on Saturday called off what was intended to be a 530-mile trek across the Arctic Ocean after Arnesen suffered frostbite in three of her toes, and extreme cold temperatures drained the batteries in some of their electronic equipment.
You’d think that with all there Global Warming going on that the temperatures would allow a 530 mile trek into the Arctic without the risk of losing some toes. But God works in mysterious ways.
Then there was the cold — quite a bit colder, Atwood said, then Bancroft and Arnesen had expected. One night they measured the temperature inside their tent at 58 degrees below zero, and outside temperatures were exceeding 100 below zero at times, Atwood said.
Their hot water bottles froze over and they had to wake up constantly to keep some fresh water available. I figured with all those glaciers melting; there’d be free fresh water everywhere. Hmm. Guess not.
The explorers had planned to call in regular updates to school groups by satellite phone, and had planned online posts with photographic evidence of global warming. In contrast to Bancroft’s 1986 trek across the Arctic with fellow Minnesota explorer Will Steger, this time she and Arnesen were prepared to don body suits and swim through areas where polar ice has melted.
Atwood said there was some irony that a trip to call attention to global warming was scuttled in part by extreme cold temperatures.
“They were experiencing temperatures that weren’t expected with global warming,” Atwood said. “But one of the things we see with global warming is unpredictability.”
Remind me when the post talking unexpected cold temperatures, frost bite and harsher than expected conditions goes online. I don’t think it ever will.

New York Times calls out Gore for Global Warming alarmism and exagerrating the risks.
But part of his scientific audience is uneasy. In talks, articles and blog entries that have appeared since his film and accompanying book came out last year, these scientists argue that some of Mr. Gore’s central points are exaggerated and erroneous. They are alarmed, some say, at what they call his alarmism.
Wonder if the lie about Cardon Dioxide being a leading indicator of Global Warming will ever be mentioned? Probably not, but at least some sanity seems to be creeping into the debate.

How come we never hear of Al Gore leading these Expediations? Is it that he plans to study the Effects of Global Warming down on the Beaches of Bali?
Global Warming is just a Global Tax Scam, as years ago we joked about how they can’t tax us for the Air we Breathe, but thanks to Al Gore and his Group of “Gorons” have figured out a Way to tax us for the Air we Breathe out!
