That newspaper that houses the magnificent Christopher Booker has gone
'native'

Today they run a story about the 'Catlin Three', Apparently Pen Hadow
claims he drilled 20 odd drillings per day whilst pulling all that
gear for 73 day across thin ice for at 3.7 miles per day? How did he
find the energy and time?

Of course he could have saved himself the effort as the Alfred Wegener
Institute
had just done all the scientific work from a WWII era workhorse
Douglas DC-3 airplane equipped with skis, and towing an airborne
sounder twenty meters above the ice surface. It took four weeks to
complete and guess what they found out the ice was far thicker than
expected and far thicker then Pen Hadow measured.

'Somewhat thicker than during the last two years' not 'far thicker than
expected'.
Tut tut Lawence, putting a spin on something, what you are always accusing
global warming supporters of doing!

Mind you the Catlin expedition back ed by the BBC and Guardian and
sponsered by The Catlin Group Limited of course had an agenda to begin
with, that being that the Arctic ice was rapidly thinning and
disappearing, but even though Hadow claims that to be the case but no
one told the Alfred Wegener Institute how sort of....snowed on their
parade. Never mind never let facts get in the way of an ideology

So basically the Catlin expedition falsified their data in order to come
up with the 'correct' conclusions, is that what you are saying?

Or could it simply be that different methods of collecting data can
show different results, were exactly the same areas monitored,
and at the same time?

It was a whingy whiney escapade nothing else, the science worth worthless.
