Climate Progress » Blog Archive » Contest: Write the energy and climate piece of President Obama’s first inaugural address

I think Todd might have accomplished another world first by being the first person in history to ever market a blog from the South Pole. I know, I know, not nearly as exciting, but still check out this photo of Todd at the South Pole with a DeSmogBlog expedition flag...

Now 45years old and twelve days from when I first stumbled up to the South Pole, my left eye, lungs and feet deeply frozen and hallucinating that all my friends and family were plugging along with me, this, cast against me know, warm, 20 pounds heavier and safe in my office - I now know what time travel is like.

I still cannot quite feel my feet, parts of my left leg, the ends of my fingers or see clearly through my left eye or breath without trouble – but I am warm, safe and at home, with my wife, my dogs and my friends.
