This is a perfect example of why I and so many skeptics maintain that what the Cult of Climastrology is pushing is a bunch of hoo hah: they’re a bunch of hypocrites
UIC Students Set Sail in the Arctic to Study Climate Change
Six students from the University of Illinois at Chicago are starting the fall semester a little early – and a couple thousand miles from campus. They’ve traded their classroom chairs for seats on board a research vessel as part of the Northwest Passage Project.
Working closely with scholars, scientists, historians, journalists and students from a handful of other universities, the UIC group will spend three weeks assisting in the collection of scientific and sociological information as they sail across the Northwest Passage, a northern waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The students – five undergraduates and one graduate student who are all enrolled in the school’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences – have a range of majors, from biology and psychology to rehabilitation sciences and communication. In other words, being a future scientist was not a requirement for participation.
In other words, this is about politics, not science. These students are first taking fossil fueled vehicles to the airport, then a fossil fueled flight, then some sort of fossil fueled vehicles from the airport to the ship, then traveling on a fossil fueled trip.
“The aim of the participation of the undergrad student is not for them to become scientists. It’s for them to become informed citizens,†said Miquel Gonzalez-Meler, a professor of biological sciences at UIC who is involved with the project. “When they’re hopefully the new generation of doctors and psychologists and health professionals and social professionals and so forth, they will have the experience with them that probably can empower them to talk about these issues.â€
This isn’t science. They could be “informed” without all the climahypocrisy.
The expedition will make several stops along the way so students can visit native Inuit villages and also study the lives of area residents.
Don’t even get me started on them treating these Inuit like simple study subjects. Rather bigoted of them.
