Recently an expedition to the North Pole to point out the effects of Global Warming was cancelled due to the temperature being colder than expected. Frostbite ends Bancroft-Arnesen trek
Atwood said there was some irony that a trip to call attention to global warming was scuttled in part by extreme cold temperatures.
“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.”
Which brings me to another important point. A lot of people thought the french turn away from socialism would take place when hell freezes over. Well in line with the unpredictablity brought on by global warming, hell must be freezing over because the pro American french candidate for president, Nicolas Sarkozy, has taken the lead in french polls.
Nicolas Sarkozy, candidate of the ruling centre-right UMP party, has also seen Mr Bayrou erode his polling figures. On Monday he won the official backing of Dominique de Villepin, the prime minister and protégé of Jacques Chirac, the outgoing president.
The latest poll, published yesterday by Le Figaro, gave Mr Sarkozy 27 per cent, against 25.5 per cent for Ms Royal and 23 per cent for Mr Bayrou. Mr Le Pen was fourth with 12 per cent.
Who would have predicted that? Must be Global Warming.
