MINNEAPOLIS - A North Pole expedition meant to bring attention to global warming was called off after one of the explorers got frostbite.

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.

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."

Now that there's funny whether you're skeptical or faithful!

There is no excuse for getting frostbite in this day and age. Looks like a case of the five P's.

The temperature in the tent was recorded as minus 58 degrees. That's global warming for you. It should have been minus 70.

Maybe the headline should be: 'Global warming claims another victim'.

As I stated in a previous thread about global warming, it's advocates have covered all the bases: if the climate warms up, they are proven right; if the climate cools, that only means that they are right in a totally unexpected, yet not unforeseen way.

Do ya follow me?

""They were experiencing temperatures that weren't expected with global warming,""

like the few degree difference possibly caused by global warming is going to make a difference in survivability that far north in march.

and what kind of global warming study goes to the arctic while its still winter anyway? it serves there purpose far better to go in the height of summer...

are they saying that if the weather can't be predicted then that proves global warming?

Why were they going that way with a tent? The North Pole has been crossed by ship!
(BTW, the NW passage has recently been crossable without an icebreaker, at times of the year unheard of)

Maybe they angered the global warming gods and he is punishing them?
