Maybe the three of them can go have a holiday in Australia or New Zealand, and enjoy the earliest ever ski seasons down under & reflect deeply on Truth & Morality - something UK members of Parliament are having to do at the moment. Maybe one of NZ's excellent investigative journalists can get them drunk & get the real story. sirhumphreys.blogspot.com/2005/04/tamiheres-revenge.htmlI can live in hope.

Your being too demanding Kiwi! I think they have already acknowledged that they froze their buns off. No sense raking them over the coals! I think they all will be doing that over the coming weeks as they get themselves back to normal with a lot of reflections. Hadow's comment I though was the most telling. . . .what the heck am I doing here. . . .again!

The Catlin survey spent pretty well all of it's time on Canadian territory. Specifically, the fuel dump used to refuel the aircraft, was, I believe, on Canadian territory. I am not clear what happened to the fuel drums used to create this fuel dump. Were they retrieved and recycled, or were they left to pollute a Canadian part of the Arctic? I have written to my MP to try and find out what happened to these drums. May I urge any other Canadians to write to their MP on this subject. The email address is name.initial@parl.gc.ca; i.e. my MP is McGuinty.D@parl.gc.ca. IF I get a reply, I will share any information I get.

The problem have been with insufficient funding for the Catlin science propaganda expedition. Maybe they should have hitchhiked with the Russians who made it to the North Pole on April 26. This is just too funny. h/t WUWT RUSSIANS WIN RACE TO THE NORTH POLEwww.ruvr.ru/main.php?lng=eng&q=44335&cid=219&p=27.04.2009Russian motorists drive to North Pole
Russian motorists have reached the North Pole for the first time in an Arctic expedition. The new record has been set by a team of seven Russians. They set out for the Pole from the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago on two experimental Russian-made YEMELYA cars on the 20th of March, covered over 1,100 kilometres on pack ice, and reached the earth’s northern pole on Sunday, the 26th of April. The jubilant team of seasoned travellers is now receiving congratulations from across Russia. If that doesn't highlight the political side of the Catlin "expedition", nothing will. www.yemelya.ru/index.phpvs

Yes, but the Catlin three were sooo much greener in their anit-polar bear suits.
