Why are so many global warming events canceled because of cold?
A North Pole expedition meant to bring attention to global warming was called off after one of the explorers got 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.
“Ann said losing toes and going forward at all costs was never part of the journey,” said Ann Atwood, who helped organize the expedition.
On Monday, the pair was at Canada’s Ward Hunt Island, awaiting a plane to take them to Resolute, Canada, where they were to return to Minneapolis later this week.
Bancroft, 51, became the first woman to cross the North Pole on a 1986 expedition. She and Arnesen, 53, of Oslo, Norway, were the first women to ski across Antarctica in 2001.
Ken, climate is weather, duh.
I have wondered the same kind of thing. We recently went through 20 below zero temps in Iowa, where I am from. My tongue-in-cheek joke at the time was to invite the global warming nuts here.
Then, at that time, they would be sent outside in a t-shirt and shorts and have to stay out for an hour or so. I would then invite them inside and express interest in hearing from them about how warm our globe is. LOL
