Mr Goodeve-Docker is thought to have died overnight as temperatures plunged to -35C.
His family should sue the hockey team for intentionally spreading misinformation about the climate in Greenland, which has cost this person his life.
Greenland is not warming, and tampering with the temperature data is not going to un-freeze anyone.
I tipped you this story on April 29th 🙂
Some interesting points in the article. Someone told him temps range from +5 to -50 °C but failed to say that the 5°C is the highest summer temp and not for long. The other point was that one of the expedition was nearly wiped out the last time he tried and in exactly the same way.
Nutters all of them. Someone should have told them that they waould almost certainly die unless they went in summer instead of the middle of winter.
Unfortunately. He was probably adviced the middle of Winter was as warm as Summer. Due to all the AGW/CC BS!! All that supposedly melting ice up there during Winter so on and so forth.
Darwin award….
To Old!!!!
You’re never too old for a Darwin Award.
“The expedition was being led by Mr Hackney, who lives in London, while Mr Norman, who works for the Army and lives in Ascot, was like Mr Goodeve-Docker a “rookie” explorer. The trip had been delayed by by a week by “white out” storms. Two years ago another expedition led by Mr Hackney was defeated half-way when a freak storm destroyed tents and equipment.”
Rookies and a failed expedition leader. Doomed from the start.
In the Arctic, there are no freak storms, all storms are normal.
There seems to be quite a few ‘freak’ storms up there in winter. Can’t think why.
😉
Freezing to death on the 2nd day of your 30+ day trip is a bad start.
How can there be all of these storms? Greenland should be a very placid and “stable” place. The weather system there is so deprived of excess heat energy. The warmists are always telling us that more heat=”more energy in the system.”
Aren’t they growing bananas in Greenland – the ice left YEARS AGO – it SHOULD be back to a tropical climate, You know a GREEN land!!!
He shouldn’t have been there and anyone who says that he was living his dream are idiots, they would not have known the pain and suffering the freezing conditions would have had on him in the last days of his life. Death by gradual freeze would have been horrific.
All this main stream media talk about the Arctic being ice free and that Greenland is experiencing unprecedented warming is contributing to the deaths of thrill seeking amateurs who should not be there in the first place. The MSM paints a rosy picture of Greenland, some sort of global warming paradise.
Natural selection. There should be more of it
This just explicates the fact that ALL of the Democrats should all go to the center of Greenland to observe the new tropical jungle. How can they understand the “horror” of unrelenting heat unless they experience it first hand?
Were these guys out harvesting their crops and got caught in an unseasonal blizzard? They should have stayed in the tractor! Any farmer knows that.
Still, it’s a bit sad for his family.
Life is hard and if you are stupid, it’s even harder.
he did his part to raise awareness of Global Warming!
From the article:
What idiot in their right mind thinks his ghost will hang around the ice cap at -35? Maybe they hope it’ll return when it’s 5?
If it’s such a balmy forest up there, maybe it’s where we should sequester the Left..
Anyway.. Do they have coffins that cater for the foetal position?
