It's a shame somebody had to get hurt in this whole sordid process, but here's a case in which an excursion to the North Pole to "prove" global warming cost the toes of one of the explorers. What's amazing is the concluding statement:
"They were experiencing temperatures that weren't expected with global warming," Atwood said. "But one of the things we see with global warming is unpredictability."
Considering they were actually planning to take a swim, what were they expecting? Sandy beaches and rolling hills of green meadows? And what's with this "unpredictability" stuff? How can you not predict freezing temperatures and frostbite conditions in the friggin' Arctic???
So... did this disprove global warming to them?
