Why are believers in global warming so incompetent when it comes to Arctic exploration?
Last week Tom Smitheringale became the latest global warming alarmist to need rescuing from his own foolishness. His attempt to reach the North pole was, of course, to ‘bring attention’ to the issue of climate change.
cold, not cool
There is quite the list of other warmists unable to cope with the Arctic in recent years:
In 2009 Pen Hadow and his team had to be rescued from their global warming stunt:
Project director and ice team leader Pen Hadow and his colleagues Martin Hartley and Ann Daniels are now down to half rations and fighting to survive in brutal sub-zero weather conditions.
The year before, eco-adventurer Lewis Gordon Pugh was similarly thwarted:
August 30, 2008, from the BBC: Lewis Pugh plans to kayak 1200km (745 miles) to the North Pole to raise awareness of how global warming has melted the ice sheet . . . This year, for the first time, scientists predict that the North Pole could briefly be ice-free and that has inspired Mr Pugh . . .
September 6, 2008, from Reuters: Pugh’s kayak trip ended at 81 degrees north, about 1000km from the Pole. (A) barrier of sea ice . . . eventually blocked his route north . . .
And the year before that, Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen paid the price for thinking the Arctic was warmer than it actually is
Compare those incompetent warmists with the British couple that walked to the arctic unsupported to raise funds for injured war veterans. No eco-ego trip and no rescue required.
Or the ex-Royal Marine that flew his 9-year old to meet him at the Pole after successfully guiding a group of Chinese business-people to the top of the planet. No eco-ego trip and no rescue required.
In fact, getting to the Pole isn’t hard at all. You can book your own adventure right here. Top Gear famously drove it.
So why do warmists always need rescuing?
Could it be that successful trips over the Arctic are so commonplace that ‘dramatic’ rescues are the only way to get the into headlines?

The difference amidst amateur consumption and medical employment of cannabis begs to be recognized. Even though I think that a responsible adult should have the right to use marijuana recreationally, I do think, without doubt, permitting a sick person use of a plant with a long history of medical value ought to be accepted and legal. Cannabis has a great potential as a medicine and more awareness and tolerance is needed. In Summary, legalize it!
[...] noes, Arctic exploration is threatened. By cooling. Awkward. Also, why is it only warmists who need rescuing from [...]
Maybe these liberals rally behind ideas and causes without really basing their beliefs on hard world facts. Basically they outsmart themselves. They hail from a class of people without the drive to attain any self sufficient skills. It is no surprise when nature outwits a group who think they are smarter than their environment.
[...] warmaholic lemmings who are doing pilgrimages to the arctic to prove the world is warming and they typically end up with frostbite as the arctic continues to cool and expand. And the Gore effect looks at kicking in again as a foot of snow is predicted for New [...]
Perhaps the medical marijuana is disorienting?
Let these incompetent morons figure their own way out or die. Leave them for scavenger food and as a warning to others. They’re so much smarter than the rest of us, aren’t they? They hate us, don’t they? Think not? Check out Avatar. Let ‘em freeze in peace.
Occam’s razor:
Warmist hippiess who do these expeditions are just stone stupid, don’t prepare right, and have to have their half-frozen asses plucked from the sub-zero tempertures because they believe it’s warmer there.
Forgive me if I left the impression that I thought warmists capable of complex functions like conspiracy, I just figured they knew how to work a gullible media.
Had not thought of conspiracy.
Figured anyone who thought they could paddle a kayak to the Pole in APRIL or even MAY was just congenitally stupid.
