It's the "Make money from climate change roadshow"!

LOCAL businesses are being offered the opportunity to use the challenge of climate change to generate new commerical opportunities.

Even if you still believe in the global warming scam, you can still enjoy a fossil-fueled marathon at the North Pole!

Does the North Pole Marathon have a carbon offsetting policy?

Yes. The North Pole Marathon pays the relevant amount of money to the CarbonNeutral Company for carbon offsetting projects. Polar Running Adventures has been pioneering in this regard, becoming the first business to completely neutralise the CO2 effects of all its flights to the North Pole in 2007. First, the CO2 impacts of the 2½ hour flights to the North Pole camp - and any related helicopter flights in the polar region - are scientifically calculated on the basis of the type of aircraft used, fuel burn rate, fuel type and flight duration. Second, this calculated impact is offset by an investment in a mix of approved global projects such as tree-planting / forestry development. Competitors can travel to the North Pole with the knowledge that their polar flights have official Carbon Neutral status.

There remains a great deal of cynicism about climate change. Most people probably accept the science and the wisdom of trying to change our ways. It seems though that what might loosely be referred to as ‘the climate change lobby’ is too often seen as a leftist, sandle-wearing, bike-riding, muesli-eating, G20 protesting bunch of hippies. This probably turns off the more mainstream citizen who draws the line at recycling glass and paper.
