Rescue boat for trapped ship in Antarctic waits for better weather

quote:

This attempt by the Aurora Australis follows one by the Chinese icebreaker Xue Long, or Snow Dragon, which was just six nautical miles away from the trapped vessel when it couldn't get any closer due to unusually thick ice.

Ship stuck in Antarctica awaits rescue Icebreaker gets stuck; rescue stalled
The ship is carrying scientists and passengers led by expedition leader Chris Tunrey, an Australian professor of climate change.

The expedition to gauge the effects of climate change on the region began November 27. The second and current leg of the trip started December 8 and was scheduled to conclude with a return to New Zealand on January 4.

Every time it's cold, that proves that global warming doesn't exist.

The expedition is being led by Chris Turney, “climate scientist”, who has “set up a carbon refining company called Carbonscape which has developed technology to fix carbon from the atmosphere and make a host of green bi-products, helping reduce greenhouse gas levels.” The purpose of the expedition is “to discover and communicate the environmental changes taking place in the south.”

So there's a ship stranded at sea, surrounded by ice, and people on the board think it's funny?

Oh yeah, I bet the crew of that vessel is just dying of laughter right about now.

You people don't know when to put your ideology down and offer up prayers.

Oh my that's hilarious.

I guess now that they are rescued they can run around screaming that the sky is falling again....either by the coming ice age, global warming, or climate change.
