Ranulph Fiennes pulls out of Antarctic trek after suffering severe frostbite - The Washington Post
LONDON — British explorer Ranulph Fiennes on Monday pulled out of an expedition to cross Antarctica during the region’s winter after developing frostbite — a bitter disappointment for an adventurer who had spent years preparing for one of the last great polar challenges.Sir Ranulph Fiennes to Attempt First Wintertime Trans-Antarctic Trek

Reading the article I find it interesting that the entire trip is dependent on the use of fossil fuels.
I am going to be praying for those that are still going to try and make the trip, doesn't look very promising to me. Looks like a disaster in the making.
I love to read about these global warming guys who believe their own propaganda.
Are you smugsters having fun? When you turn on the tap and nothing flows, maybe then you'll get it.
The article says that they are making the trek "during winter" March 21. The AP doesn't seem to understand that it will not be winter, it will be the beginning of Fall. The fellow who pulled out said they wanted to do it "before winter" but the story talks about doing it during winter.

"Sir Ranulph Fiennes, will take on one of the last remaining polar challenges by attempting to cross Antarctica in winter – the coldest journey on Earth"
Unfortunately, with all the extra ice in Antarctica they had to go further than they thought. Still, as global warmists, they will have refused to believe that there could possibly have been an increase in sea ice.

yeah that happened to me once, but it was because I didn't pay the water company bill.

I've had to put three taps in my house.
One for cold water
One for hot water
One for the free gas y'all hear about from fracking.
Happy days.
