Another warmist in the Arctic: GE sponsors 15-year-old on polar trip... Shortly after twice reporting a temperature of -34 C, he suggests that the ice is “falling apart” around him.
Parker Liautaud, 15 years old, is reporting on his progress skiing his way to the North Pole. He has made his goal to become the youngest person to ski to the North Pole, and to use that attempt to bring greater awareness to the urgent environmental issues of the arctic.
And more importantly for his purpose of letting the world see the ravages of global warming on the arctic - There was a lot of open water today. It really shows what’s been going on in the Arctic – it’s falling apart. Right now we’re camping on this patch of old ice, but all around us is open water, broken and thin ice. To our north there’s a massive pan of very thin ice. Everything is freshly frozen, if not open.
Twitter / Parker Liautaud: Temp -34, Windchill -42. W ... Temp -34, Windchill -42. We did about 11 Nm today, it was a really good day. We have about 35 Nm left, and about 5 before we’re half way. 3:00 PM Apr 4th via API [His previous tweet also reported a temperature of -34]
...I always like to encourage young minds in science, but this is just a glorified field trip with a guide. What a bunch of suckers GE is for paying for such an expedition.
The ice from Cryosphere Today looks better than 30 years ago.
GE is anything but a bunch of suckers, Anthony. They appear to be little more than crony capitalists, taking advantage of the new swing to Statism by the Democrats in power. They're doing so using nationalized health care and the environment, for starters.
And, in the case of

ReplyDeleteIf extent - area - were the only metric that was important, you might have a point.
ReplyDeleteBut it's not, so you don't.
Total volume of ice? Thickness of ice? Age of ice? Long-term trend? Duh.
