Duped College Kid Plans 40 Day Expedition to South Pole To Increase Awareness of….Climate Change

Let me be clear.  I think it is awesome that this kid wants to break a record and increase ‘awareness” and I think we need more of these adventurous sorts in every age group, but will he be increasing awareness of his preconceived notions about the climate or educating us on how what he sees contradicts what he has been told he should believe?

Liautaud will venture out on Nov. 23 on a 40-day expedition. His goal is to bring attention to climate change, an issue he has been passionate about since a young age. Liautaud talked about his past arctic ventures and upcoming expedition alongside the founder of the Climate Reality Project, former Vice President Al Gore, Monday atSocial Good Summit.

Polar expeditions by climate change advocates have been running afoul of the truth–cold, ice, things that should be impossible given what the people who have been feeding of the high hog of handouts have been selling as science; computer models that were great for milking taxpayer funding from progressives but got everything else wrong.

Then, of course, here we have a guy making repeated trips to inhospitable places, because his idol, hypocrite Al Gore, lied and became a kajillionaire as a fear-monger-er peddling fraudulent data as settled science; because nations bought in or simply saw an opportunity for a new kind of tyranny and milked their economies dry to divert resources away from the poor and the sick, roads and bridges, mental health, even their own security, so they could make bureaucracies bigger, taxes higher, life more expensive, cronies richer, create brown outs, black outs, while pumping trillions in other people’s money world wide into inefficient and costly green energy boondoggles that failed or just failed to deliver anything we were promised they would.

I wish him luck.  Perhaps he’ll have a Damascus moment, though I doubt it.  He is 19 and star-struck by Al Gore .
