Now the kayakers have canceled their expedition, but consider it a success (only with AGW can being wrong be spun as being right).

I was watching British television last night wasn’t sure if it was itv or bbc but it had a bit about lewis pugh and his kayakers going up to the pole. Him standing on an ice flow saying such things as the ice is only 1 metre thick and not 3 metres as in same time 2007? Are there two sets of kayakers? Thinking about it it might of been news night highlighting the weeks news but it was still transmitted in that case without updating.

The demise of the “warming island” website promoting a new island discovered in Greenland as a result of global warming was complete with $5000 cruises for the most avid greenies.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper used it for his ‘Planet in Peril’ series. Of course it wasn’t researched for accuracy, but it made for good propaganda.

Unfortunately for Dennis Schmitt, the myth was exposed for the farce that it is and now, sadly in a way, the website is history. It is still prominently displayed on CNN’s website without retraction.

Good news! Dennis Schmitt is still offering cruises for the modest price of $5748…..sold out for 2008!

The SAC Bee’s climate change Hot House died, and soon the latest SAC Bee blog Sierra Summit will die from the lack of visitors. I tried to help them, but not response. The clue to blogging success is posting often with information that people find interesting. You meet and exceed your readers expectation. I try to keep up, but you get there first with the most compelling stories. Congratulations!
