Another sign of fading global warming hysteria

Ann Bancroft is planning an Antarctic trip, but global warming/climate change is not even mentioned this time around. Note that her failed 2007 trip (below) was all about global warming.

As an explorer, Ann Bancroft's most important tool isn't an ice pick. It's not the dogs that pulled her to the North Pole. It's not her sled or tents or Gore-Tex-lined boots that keep her feet warm when she's trekking through arctic terrain in temperatures as harsh as 75 degrees below zero.

It's her curiosity.

Bancroft, 53, of Scandia, said the objective of the international team would be to promote peaceful conflict resolution. The planned 550-mile trek will follow the route that Roald Amundsen took to first reach the South Pole 100 years earlier in 1911.

The expedition, which was intended to be a 530 mile (853 kilometers) trek across the Arctic Ocean and meant to bring attention to global warming, was called off March 10 after Arnesen suffered frostbite in three of her toes.

What temperatures do such sharp women expect at the North Pole? Well, you can get the idea if you listen to a third intelligent woman, Ann Atwood, who helped to organize the expedition and who might actually be the ultimate intellectual mother of many of the hard-to-believe aspects of this story. She said: "They were experiencing temperatures that weren't expected with global warming." I kid you not. They didn't expect damn freezing temperatures at the North Pole because they live in the world of global warming.

What temperatures did they actually experience at the North Pole? Well, sometimes minus 58 degrees inside the tent and minus 100 degrees outside it. Women who remember their elementary school a little bit more could even find these numbers in tables or textbooks. Well, due to extreme cold temperatures, Liv Arnesen suffered frostbite in three of her toes while the batteries in their electronic devices stopped working.
