An expedition to the North Pole to bring attention to global warming was cancelled due to the extraordinarily cold weather.
Considering how many Global Warming Swindle conferences have been canceled as of late due to unusually low temperatures, that’s hardly a surprise. Who said G-d didn’t have a sense of humor?
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.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Still, it could have been much worse. They could’ve been eaten by polar bears but, thankfully, they’ve all drowned due to Global Wormening, right?
We may die laughing one of these days if this keeps up.
UPDATE: Here’s a little something that we whipped up down in The Imperial Dungeon™ Game Room™. :smoke_tb:
UPDATE the SECOND: LC Iacobus, in the comments, notes another little gem from the article, coming from a Global Wormening Freak:
“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.”
That’s funny, seeing as how the Goreacle and his High Priests keep telling us how utterly predictable our imminent doom is, down to fractions of a degree. They can predict the unpredictable! Prostrate yourselves before the Most Holy Church of Gore!
(Then sneak up behind the lunatic and slap a straitjacket on him while he’s not looking).

Stand by for an expedition to the Sun to prove that isn’t the cause of Global Warming. They won’t worry about the heat because they’ll land at night.

No, no NO! You people just don’t get it! Here is some compelling evidence for global warming:
1. Unseasonally high temperatures are clear, obvious evidence of global warming (warm temperatures, global warming - get it?)
2. Unseasonally low temperatures are clear, obvious evidence of global warming. See how unpredictable global warming makes our weather? It’s doomsday for certain!
3. Unseasonally violent weather is clear, obvious evidence of global warming (bad weather is a result of MotherGoddessGaia’s anger, plus I saw The Day After Tomorrow, which proves a global climate disaster is imminent!)
4. Unseasonally mild weather is also a clear indication of global warming. If we expected a non-stop, horribly destructive hurricane season (as a result of global warming), then lack of the hurricanes is clear evidence that something isn’t right… And that something it clearly global warming.
5. Weather that’s neither excessively calm, nor violent, and seasonal temperatures are an indication of the fickle nature of global warming. It’s just the calm before the storm, people! Wake up!
6. An increase in alien abductions is clear evidence of global warming. Our benevolent masters from outer-space want to save us from our self-induced global catastrophe!
7. A decrease in alien abductions is also demonstrates the reality of global warming. Clearly, our strict, ecologically-friendly alien masters realize that we deserve our self-induced global climate death, and have decided to leave us here to reap what we’ve sown.
…
I could go on, but my fingers are tired.

The global warming connection here is obviously very clear:
1. Fat conducts heat more efficiently than air.
2. People who are uncomfortably warm are more likely to be angry.
3. Therefore, the anger of fat people is like the canary-in-the-cage for global warming.
But I’m also pretty sure that gigantic fat people hanging upside-down from the ceiling like bats is one of the signs of the Apocalypse, which just barely trumps global warming. So I think we’ve got plenty to worry about even without the Goreacle’s dire predictions.

It’s the least I can do, to contribute a little humor. I’ve been entertained by this site and all your comments for well over 2 years now. I’m just trying to give back a little.
Anyways, time to go to bed. it’s like 1am and I have to be up in 4 hours. So I leave you all with this profound parting thought:

Ohmygosh…that story is so precious. :lol_tb:
If that ain’t a non sequitur, nothing is.
It’s way-below-zero and the cause is…global warming. Mmm-hmm. I dunno, but maybe it’s because it’s the fucking Arctic? Maybe I’m making too much sense?
One of the things I see with people who believe in Global Wormening™ is that they’re absolutely, unequivocally batshit insane. This proves it. :wacko_tb:

As has been pointed out, when it’s warm it’s global warming but when it’s cold it’s ‘the weather’. The enviro-socialists really are a dishonest lot.

Holy Crap!! There is Global Warming and I can prove it! Here it is 13 March and it’s almost 70 DEGREES already! I bet by August, it’ll even be HIGH 90s! That’s it….GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL! I’ll bet there will be a friggin’ ICE AGE starting in about October. That ICE AGE will be full-blown by December too I bet! Oh Mighty Goreturd…..please save us all!!

March 13th, 2007 at 2:15 PMScreech and scream, piss and moan, but heaven forbid they should actually put themselves in danger to back up their convictions.
Libtards are like that. Let someone else put words into action…but when they have to make the choice, they go running home the moment the Latte’s run out.
If they were really serious about this they would have made out wills and carried on and took a GPS so their frozen bodies could be found later on, with the stipulation that Gorebot receive all of their unused Carbon Credits.

One of the great points made in Crichton’s State of Fear is how difficult it is for environmentalists to raise the millions they need every month to keep their operations running when it is cold outside.
That’s why they came up with the whole notion of “catastrophic climate change”.
It is perfect marketing in every way. If it’s hot, it is global warming, if cold it is climate change, if it happens quickly (like ice in January and balmy in March) it just proves how quickly things can get out of hand. This goes along with the sister argument that we can’t wait until climate change is manifesting itself and proven to be anthropogenic, we have to do something NOW!
There is simply no way to combat this level of dishonesty and moonbattery. Post-modernity at its finest.

Remember all the Carl Sagan hype on Nuclear Winter. The theory made very specific predictions about the level of ground chilling you would see with particular levels of smoke. And then there were huge wildfires in Southern California which were more than big enough to fit into the model - and the observed temperature fall was zero. Theories make predictions; if they don’t, they are worthless. And if they do, but the observed data don’t match the prediction, they are worthless. Otherwise, a brief addendum concerning the “scientists are 90% certain global warming is man-made”, I believe that to be statistically significant, the level of certainty is supposed to be at least 95%. The 90% figure likely popped outta some asshole at Turtle Bay.
