Global Warming North Pole trek cancelled due to extreme cold

Not since Al Gore's global warming speech was cancelled due to cold temperatures,not since Rosie O'Donnell's bodyguard carried a gun, has there been such a sweet news headline:

The explorers, Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen, on Saturday called off what was intended to be a 530-mile trek across the Arctic Ocean after Arnesen suffered frostbite in three of her toes, and extreme cold temperatures drained the batteries in some of their electronic equipment

"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."

So..... global warming can cause unexpected cold as well as overwhelmingdeath-inducing heat. So by logic, then it can cause seasonably mild temperatures,too, like a nice warm Spring day. We're all gonna die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait a second... let's see that quote again:"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."

Since when is deadly frigid temperature not predicted close to the Arctic Circle in winter-time?
Reminds me of the time I went for a walk in the ocean but was turned back by lots of unpredictable wet stuff.

So here's their web page. On every day's page for which there is a measurement(I think I saw all 8 days' worth) the ice measurement was 0.0 centimeters, yetthere's a photo of ice with water running through it, a photo of a plane flyingover water and ice, and a close-up picture of a what looks like a lot of snow. Makes you wonder what their definition of 'ice' is or how they selected whereto measure it. We're to believe they got frostbite in 100 degree below zeroweather while they were walking on dry ground? Maybe it was all just plainold snow...

But then why do they say this in their March 10th post? From where are they sendingtheir voice message again?

"Listen to Ann's weekend voice message from the ice." So is there ice or isn't thereice? Or is the ice that's there the kind that 'doesn't really count,' when measuringice for a global warming propoganda piece?

Their expedition map. Apparently they didn't get far enough to even mark theirprogress on the map, because I can't see any noted.http://www.bancroftarnesen.com/explore/ArcticOcean2007/ExpeditionMap.jsp
