Warmist Will Steger on the Antarctic cold: "It's almost as if Antarctica didn't want us there and was continually trying to kill us in the process"

Will Steger Views Global Warming from the Coldest Places on Earth (Podcast) : TreeHugger
Steger: It's like another planet. It's cold like you've never experienced. I love the cold weather, but Antarctica was a little extreme. The rest of the globe, it has a sense of place and feeling and spirit and wildlife and culture. But this has none of it. It's almost like Mars. For seven months, we were in a total void of life. Extreme weather, wind chills 100 below were very common. It's almost as if Antarctica didn't want us there and was continually trying to kill us in the process.
...
But if you look at the North Pole area, it's actually a deep ocean, 14, 000 feet deep. It's the size of Mexico and the United States put together, and up until three years ago, that was covered by a very thin layer of sea ice in the summertime. 95 percent of that was sea ice in the summer.
... right now I almost like to put climate change on the shelf and talk about the economy.
