do you have any huskie dogs ?- laurel
there is huskies, there was one outside the hotel it Longyearbyen, it was very fun
Josh asks- Are you worried that the way you are getting around is more damage to the climate
there’s more huskies out here, there really loud!!!
Keith…nice standard to set there. And they say that cows are the culprits …Hmmm.
it’s not bad, it’s windy most of the time so we sail and we’re doing it for the greater good!
Answer to Hattie and Sophie’s question. The trip has made me very aware of the complexity of climate change. The scientists here are right at the cutting edge of what is being done and they are very cautious about making sure that all the factors are considered…. including the natural cycles of the earth and sun. Dr B
Becca and lizzie ask-what have you been eating?
the chef is GREAT! lots of star quality soups and really nice food, i want to hire her as my personal chef
and there’s lots of food!
The traditional roles of the huskies have changed. We saw a couple pulling scientists on their push-bikes. Seriously, they us the dogs to get them to the different weather station around Ny-Alesund.
I have a question(Will the typist here) Have you seen any northern lights?And keith,are you taking care of my camera,Howards laptop…oh..and jethro
what’s been happening in the school?
Oh you know..a bit of learning,a sea of blue polo shirts,and Mrs Love is keeping track of all of the work you need to catch up on….
we haven’t seen the northern lights unfortunately
Josh wants to know what you have done so far to help the climate
I’m staying here if there’s work to do when i get back
I think Jethro means, have you guys been doing anything related to Climate Change whilst he’s been up in the Arctic? (We’d like to see pictures, if you have!)
scientific experiments, we’re learning more and more about the way climate change works and ways to reduce emissions and we’re going to be spreading the word on this when we get back using arts
sorry about the tone setting there Jess. Just to take things to another level though I did have a near cacking myself moment when a huge piece of glacier (60 m high) came crashing down 200 m away from the ship. none of the kids were on board and was therefore free to let a couple of expletives rip as a mini-tsunami rocked the ship a couple of times.
HA,I see. The FEW afre running around school with Jethro masks and a megaphone.Weve been filmed by creative partnerships and we have our first eco meeting
Hattie-are you carbon offsetting the trip?
great, keep it all up, thanks for the support from everyone, you’ve all been great, im going to be on T4 at the end of october when its the 25th anniversary of channel 4
We’ve been under the scrutiny of the cameras for most of the time we’ve been here. T4 have been filming what we’ve been doing and are putting together a short piece for some time around the end of October (as part of Channel 4’s 25th anniversary).
we’re hoping to make a difference in the communities that everyone comes from and we’re all handing out energy efficient light bulbs to help family and friends lower their emissions
I suppose, Keith, when one’s life is at threat one might be allowed to exclaim in less than proper way. So long as no children are around. And what did this incident teach you (about climate change, because all things must be relative in life).
Jethro masks?!?!?! Ok… What’s this eco meeting thing, then? Explain, please, Frome!
Andrew wants to know if you could,would you stay there?
Capre Farewell have calcultated that if each member of the trip hands out 5 energy efficient light bulbs to someone who’s not using them then we can cancel out the impact of our trip CO2 wise
I would stay for longer, definately but there’s not much night life here so I wouldn’t live here
And finally,everyone is missing you and loves you(especially Hattie,in a friendly way….)Get home safe,and see you monday.Good work
thanks for everything, it’s been great being here and I can’t wait to tell you all of my stories, it’s going to be wierd going back to normal life though, it’s completely different up here
And if you recycle the boxes that the bulbs came in, well then, you’re probably just showing off! No, I’m joking, that’s a very good idea.
I’ll see you next week
I’ve written some bangin’ arctic tunes to whoever asked
Bye Jethro! Bye Keith! Bye Frome! Bye Everbody!
tally pip guys
Tomorrow we go to UNIS, the international university in Longyearbyrn, where a significant amount of polar and climate research is being carried out. We’ll get a chance to go around the labs and speak to the researchers.
After that we playing a game of footy with pupils from the local secondary school. Bizarrely, when went to the school earlier in the week and did some workshops, a significant number of the pupils were not interested in climate change…. even though it’s happening on their doorstep and a lot of their parents are working at the university. This puts the job of being an advocate for the climate into stark perspective. On this I END.
