[As he promotes the global warming hoax, he does an enormous amount of fossil-fueled traveling and finds out that it's very cold at the Poles] | The Augusta Chronicle
BOULDER, Colo. --- Adventurer Eric Larsen savored every stride of his exhausting excursions to the North and South Poles.
That is, when he wasn't fretting about snow blindness, cracks in the ice, a shortage of food, tent fires, hypothermia, frostbite and severe whiteouts.
...
For Larsen, the mission isn't so much about glory as raising awareness of global warming and the effects it's having on melting ice caps.
...
After that, Larsen returned home to unwind, throwing in a quick vacation to Mexico to lay on the beach before beginning his next stage.
"Just wanted to soak up the sun," said Larsen, who splits time between Boulder and Grand Marais, Minn., when he's not off on expeditions. "I didn't realize how worn out I was."
...
Unlike the South Pole, which is on a continent, the North Pole is reached by crossing the frozen Arctic Ocean. They often lost up to two miles a day because of the movement of the ice. The temperatures turned out to be cooler, too, regularly plunging to 30 below zero.
The team reached its target on April 22 -- Earth Day.
Again, another muted celebration. They were just too cold, too wiped out.

The chaotic nature of weather means that no conclusion about climate can ever be drawn from a single data point, hot or cold. The temperature of one place at one time is just weather, and says nothing about climate, much less climate change, much less global climate change.
