[Warmists in the Arctic: Hundreds of years after the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, it's still miserably cold up here]
The team have been on the ice for a few days and they've just had to face the first of many harsh realities of Arctic life - frozen clothing. Listen to Ann describe the discomfort of having dress in frozen gear in an already cold and moist tent first thing in the morning.
EU Referendum: Doomed

Climate Resistance » Do You Want “Ethics” With That?
Environmental ‘ethics’ are an absurdity. First, they are extraordinarily polar, and lack any nuance whatsoever. All bad actions lead ultimately to nothing less than the end of the world, yet the most mundane actions – buying the ‘good’ kind of paper to wipe your arse with, for instance – become acts of planet-saving significance. This happens for the reason Baggini raises – that virtue cannot be likened to “points on a loyalty card”. Yet this is exactly how environmental ethics force us to see the world. Good is measured as the net balance of our exchange with the natural sphere, as calculated by ‘science’. Climate science, then, gives the ground for environmental ethics as a kind of cheap, vulgar moral realism – the idea that there are moral facts in the world.
