    Somewhere far, far to the south where it is summer, a group of global warming scientists are trapped in the Antarctic ice. If you missed the irony of that situation, it is because much of the mainstream media has glossed over that rather inconvenient bit of hilarity.

      The great irony is they will still claim the cold snap down south is proof of global warming…

    Gary, if you will note the reason the ships were trapped was due to the change of wind direction that blew floating ice into the area. it didn’t really have anything to do with whether it was summer, winter, hot, or cold.
    I am not taking sides one way or the other on the global warming/climate change argument. you need to look at the facts surrounding what happened.

    Via Newsbusters:
    A group of climate change scientists were rescued by helicopter Jan. 2, after being stranded in the ice since Christmas morning. But the majority of the broadcast networks’ reports about the ice-locked climate researchers never mentioned climate change.

    The Russian ship, Akademic Shokalskiy, was stranded in the ice while on a climate change research expedition, yet nearly 98 percent of network news reports about the stranded researchers failed to mention their mission at all. Forty out of 41 stories (97.5 percent) on the network morning and evening news shows since Dec. 25 ***failed to mention*** climate change had anything to do with the expedition.

    In fact, rather than point out the mission was to find evidence of climate change, the networks often referred to the stranded people as “passengers,” “trackers” and even “tourists,” without a word about climate change or global warming.

    Chris Turney, the expedition’s leader, is a ***professor of climate change*** at the University of South Wales. According to Turney’s personal website, the purpose of the expedition is to “discover and communicate the environmental changes taking place in the south.”

    IJ couldn’t bring itself to mention that this expedition was looking for evidence of Algorbal warming. They were captured by ice in the summer – remember it’s summer down there now.

    Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha. Ha.
