Global Warming: It’s Fat People’s Fault

If the mail I get from readers is any indication, the issue of climate change is a dastardly conspiracy to “redistribute global wealth,” as one memorably explained to me. Now greenhouse deniers can imagine another conspiracy: it is all a plot to get rid of fat people.

The link between obesity and climate change has come up before, although subtly. An AP story last year noted that people could combat both of these problems by walking or bicycling rather than driving (so they burn calories, not gasoline). And writing in the Huffington Post, filmmaker Bryan Young (“Killer at Large”) cited a scientist who told him that “for every pound the average American is overweight, we use an additional 938 million gallons of gasoline per year.

Earlier this week, Cryosat released data showing that Arctic ice is much thicker than the slush in the PIOMAS computer model. Here is a first person account from a Norwegian who attempted to canoe to the pole.

After 13 days cancel Cecilie Skog attempt reach the North Pole with a canoe.

“There is really no disgrace,” is the title of the blog post North Pole expedition Cecilie Skog and Rune Gjeldnes published on Ut.no Tuesday.

Ålesund, the woman thought they had a realistic timetable to be first to reach the North Pole in summer without the addition of supplies.

– If we continue north now, so can the consequence be that we set in motion a rescue operation in the middle of the Arctic Ocean about 4-5 weeks, and we do not want, they write on the Expedition blog Tuesday.

– Brash ice

The expedition had an appointment with an icebreaker to get them at 90 degrees north on 27 July. However, because ice conditions were worse than expected, and leads to paddle did not materialize, they have the past few days only managed to leave behind the daily distances of around ten miles.

Forest believes that this is only half of what they should do in this phase of the trip. In recent days, Forestry and Gjeldnes described how they have fought their way through ice, slush and water, under very strenuous conditions.

– It’s brash ice in front of us for hundreds of kilometers, and it does not appear that it will change significantly with the first, they write.

In 2008, Lewis Pugh tried a similar stunt based on a mis-prediction from another Arctic expert.
