“WOMEN MOTORISTS – Arctic and Australian Trips.”
“To drive by the light of the midnight sun, to race for life through forest fires caused by storm lightning, to lie for 15 hours at a time at the wheel, and to be caught in an endless heat wave and tormented by mosquitoes in what is known to us as the land of eternal snows, were among the recent experiences of an intrepid English woman, Mrs. Victor Bruce, who accompanied her husband and a companion in a 6000 motor tour through the Arctic zone.Through Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, Lapland, and Finland, the motor party journeyed to 270 miles north of the Arctic Circle, prepared for freezing weather. To their continued astonishment the temperature was never less than 90 degrees in the shade.
The intention was to reach the Arctic Ocean, but 40 miles of marsh country on the coast prevented this.
An average of 210 miles a day was made on the journey, which was arduous in the extreme, and at one time the car had an actual race with death among the forest fires in Sweden over terrible roads.”

‘Elevated sea surface temperatures are a key factor in the development and intensification of major hurricanes.’
A stupid lie. Sea surface temperatures are NOT a limiting factor on hurricanes. The tropical North Atlantic is warm enough to support hurricanes every year. Hurricanes are the result of WEATHER conditions.
If high temperatures fuel hurricanes, then why do the hurricanes occur after the hottest days have passed? Why don’t hurricanes occur in the hottest oceans? Why did hurricanes occur in the cooler past?
