Bear Grylls Injury Update - The Adventurist
The injury to Bear Grylls, host of Discovery Channel’s Man vs. Wild, is currently being evaluated and assessed. Bear Grylls was on an expedition to climb a peak in Antarctica with a team of four climbers sponsored by Ethanol Ventures. Soon after the accident, Bear Grylls posted this report to his Journey Antarctica 2008 website:Curious disclaimer from Ethanol VenturesSorry for the radio silence over the last 24 hours - but I have had a bit of an accident. We were all flying across the ice using the kite skis, which is when you use the big flexi-foil kites on long lines attached to your harness that propels you across the snow and ice. I was doing speeds of over 50 kilometres an hour when I hit a patch of blue ice, lost a ski and got catapulted into the air, crashing down very hard.
Whether or not climate change is occurring and whether its cause is increased carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous dioxide or other emissions is, as most of us know, a hotly debated topic amongst scientists and environmentalists. Clearly the consequences for our planet are potentially catastrophic if the answer is that climate change is happening and our pollutants are a principal or substantial cause of this. One thing that is widely believed, however, is that an awful lot of our fossil fuel usage and pollution is caused by the use of transport fuels.

Define catastrophe -- and the answer is quite catastrophic if the answer to the hoax is destroying the world's economies and crippling rationing of energy.
But as it's developing, food is going to be the real subject real soon. As in cold resistant food crops.
I for one need a whole lot more proof than the complete lack of hard evidence that is now on the table -- Leaving nothing but a bunch of GIGO computer printouts as evidence of AGW.
How about we focus on real science instead of made up conclusions.
