Unclear on the concept: Even if it's 1 degree "warmer" next century, won't Arctic winters still be brutally cold?

In the early days of the expedition, ambient temperatures will sometimes drop as low as -50ºC (-58ºF), which is around two and a half times colder [?] than a domestic fridge-freezer. This is even before any additional wind chill factor, brought about by the strong Arctic winds, is taken into consideration.

As well as having a debilitating effect on the human body and brain, such low temperatures also make the 100-kg (220-lb) sledges feel that much heavier still...
...
The good news is that as the weather, light and temperature improves, there becomes less of a need to focus on sheer survival and more scope for fixing damaged equipment, capturing additional video and photography, and travelling further and faster each day. From the second week of April onwards, we enter the realms of 24-hour daylight, with temperatures as warm as -20ºC (-4ºF) to 0ºC (32ºF) by the end of May. As such, the second half of the expedition is likely to be that much more comfortable than the first half, and at the same time run that much more smoothly.

Beware of the New "Limits to Growth" (and looking for ReaganVision►CarterVision) — MasterResource

Government policies that arrest economic recovery and diminish economic growth reduce our carbon footprint. Indeed, human misery and carbon reduction are positively correlated in a world where consumers demand red-meat energy–oil, gas, and coal.

Nominations for ‘conference’ take-home message are now open! « International Journal of Inactivism

Yes, it’s less than 2 weeks before the Heartland Institute’s “2009 International Conference on Climate Change”, during which a few talking heads will prattle on and on about how this ‘global warming crisis’ thing is really a huge hoax perpetrated by crypto-Marxists to implement totalitarian rule or something, and 1,000+ people who can’t care less about the whole global warming ‘debate’ will be there just to enjoy the free catered food while pretending to listen to the speakers. DeSmogBlog has informed us that they’ll be going. :)
