Iditarod: Two-time champ and chase pack battle brutal conditions

A fur ruff that rimmed his parka was pulled in tight to try to save his face from 55-degrees-below-zero windchill that can freeze skin in seconds.

The pity of it all, however, is that when the history books of 2109 are published, their writers will express amazement that men ever thought their capacity to initiate climate change was greater than the natural forces that in the last 30,000 years first covered this continent with ice two kilometres thick, saw it recede, and allowed sea levels to fluctuate 100 metres.

American Thinker Blog: A Tale of Two Conferences on Global Climate Change

Augment this report with American Thinker’s own Marc Sheppard’s detailed and precise reporting on NY conference and it’s amazingly how clear the war has become! Wouldn’t it be nice to combine these two conferences and let us debate the issues in real-time? Unfortunately, Global Warming alarmists refuse to do so. That should be enough for those still on the fence to realize what’s really going on. As Mr. Booker pointed out: The Copenhagen Conference “was explicitly designed to stoke up the fear of global warming to an unprecedented pitch.” As one of the organizers of the pro AGW conference put it, "this is not a regular scientific conference: this is a deliberate attempt to influence policy."

Yep, that about sums it up!
