Global Warming Propaganda Expedition Canceled Due to Cold
Trying to superimpose liberal dogma on reality can get you in trouble, as explorers Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen found out on a recent North Pole expedition intended to generate publicity for the Great Global Warming Swindle. The idea was to take photographs that could be used as propaganda — polar bears on ice floes, penguins fanning themselves with their stubby wings, that sort of thing.
The expedition had to be called off after Arnesen suffered frostbite in three toes, and extreme cold killed the batteries in some of their electronic equipment. Temperatures fell below minus 100°F.
Reports Ann Atwood, who helped organize the fiasco:
My first reaction when they called to say there were calling it off was that they just sounded really, really cold.
The pair irresolutely returned to Resolute, Canada, and from there to points farther south, where it's not so miserably cold.
On a tip from Bergbikr.

The best part is that they blamed the excessive cold on (you guessed it) global warming:
"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."

And why couldn't these 2 keep each warm? They are life partners after all.

Good thing the libs constantly tell us there's global warming - otherwise we'd never know.

I've been to the Arctic numerous times when under oil company contract. The weather sucked every time.
I'm certain "Big Oil" controls it. (They got, like, these really big machines and things...)

I'm still not convinced either way, but this is hilarious.

FN -
I'm totally convinced of global warming. It is happening. It's been happening for 10,000 years. They even taught us about it in 8th grade earth science in 1967. (That was just before the "world is freezing" frenzy in the early 70s that had a "worldwide consensus" of support from "scientists".)
What's new about global warming is the unethical money-grabbing, control-freak liberals doing everything they can to use it politically.
Liberals really, really suck.

This isnt limited to liberals. Bill O'Reilly jumped on the Global Warming bandwagon last year along with teleevangelist Pat Robertson.
Bad news! Global Warming is also taking place on Mars, Jupiter (caused 2nd red spot hurricane) Titan (Saturn moon) and Triton (Neptune moon) and Pluto (Its still a planet no matter what they say).

Send Al Gore to Mars first to deal with this problem, then he can move on to the outer planets. Those darn Martians are ruining their planet!
