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.


quote:

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.

Fabricating faux science is even funnier.

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

Message board science.

Truth. It's a waste of time even discussing the topic.

What is being denied, that the ship is stuck or the fact that the expedition was lead by a climate change professor?

Some of you are just way too uptight. I think it's funny.

Was is funny when Issac Newton denied the "proven science" of Retrograde Motion? Was it funny when Dr. Pierre Louis questioned and eventually disproved the medical method of bloodletting which was believed to be effective for thousands of years? Or how about when current climatologists denied the theories predicting global cooling in the 1970's?

WAS IT FUNNY WHEN ZEE GERMANS BOMBED PEARL HARBOR?/?...


Oops sorry just got carried away in the moment. But it is ironic that something they were going to prove, melting of the ice, and mother nature kicks them in the gonads. Also funny.

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.”
