So a stranded ship trapped in the ice in the arctic and running low on food and still trying to push this GLOBAL WARMING POPPYCOCK too bad but they should just forget this whole global warming hoax and return and tell AL GORE to GO SOAK HIS HEAD

Owned by global cooling.

Why dont they just draw straws, then half of them can carve out the insides of the others and climb inside for warmth and eat the "special meat" to stay alive?

We call it "Climate Change" now, not Global Warming. We like to pretend that all climate change is human-caused (even though we know it isn't) because then we can use it to justify socialism and government control because we know enough power hungry politicos and dim-witted saps will go along with it to implement or collectivist, redistributionist agenda.

it's actually kind of uncommon that people can be *so* stupid that the coroner is allowed to enter "irony" as 'cause of death' on their death certs.

that doesn't mean it's not FUNNY, mind you...

Tonight on The Biggest Loser...

Darwin award nominees.

I can't help but laugh at their plight.

"'Say Jim, let's go to the North Pole. Ya' know, to document the whole Global Warming/Climate Change thing. We got funding, a ship, support and supply lines, hell, it'll be fun. Get a tan on a melting iceberg.' Right Bob? Great idea Bob, you egregious ass-wagon. Screw you Bob. Screw you and your whole 'Chicks dig scientists, especially eco-scientists' schtick. Global Warming my frozen ass. I could use some Global Warming, Bob. Ya' got any of that Global Warming you were talking about in beautiful, warm, food-infested San Fransisco Bob? Consume my phallus Bob. I hate you."

Yup, right about now...

Supposing that the North Pole is indeed melting, the dominant force would be the decrease in surface albedo caused by deposition of black carbon (soot). America contributes very little to the tropospheric artic pollution transport, the heaviest contributors by far being the industrialized areas of China, and huge biomass burning in Siberian forests (northern Europe also make non-negligible contributions, but not nearly as much as the first two). It doesn't matter so much whether something IS true, so much as that everyone BELIEVES it to be true. If people actually knew the above fact, it would get public opinion against the more immminent threat we face (even supposing that global warming is happening, the timescale is much larger), which is the cold war we're presently having with China, which no one seesm to want to admit or discuss.

I'm A Lasagna Hog,

What you say may be true, but most Americans only believe the 2.5 second sound-bite that is catchiest.

Sad really.

i guess they didnt believe the history of others who tried to reach the poles.

in fact, if you do study the history, you will find out that they are parallelling the losers of the race who didnt prepare and ended up dying.

while the winers of the race had more REAL experience with REAL cold... and did not take it so lightly.

the fact that they are in this trouble is a serious example ofwhat can happen when reality and delusion meet.

people die...

how many of them are darwin award material we are about to find out.

there is a VERY good chance that they will die.
and there is an even greater chacne that they are not quite realizing it yet.

at some point they are going to have to realize that they are going to die, and that there is nothing they can do to stop or avoid it. and they will have lots of time before it happens slowly.

this is about as serious as the real world gets. and those who do not know how to live in the real world, or dont believe or think its relative, they tend to meet such ends as this.

anyone want to take bets on thumbs up or thumbs down?

They could build igloss like the eskimos did and eat polarbears and feed the greenpeace jerks to the man eating skuas

Artfldgr;

As much as I'd hate to see even a moonbat die needlessly (especially in such a horrific way), I have to admit this would make a hell of a Darwin entry.

My bet is that, if the plane can't fly in supplies, either the US or Royal Navy will show up with a nuclear "ice-breaker" sub & save their sorry asses. Not that they deserve it or anything, or will even be grateful to the taxpayers who footed the bill for the rescue.

But Hiram, nuclear power is BAAAAAD. It would have to be a hybrid sub... ;) ...probably solar-powered...

Look behind the story guys.
These people are not scientists yet they are going there to find out just how thick the ice is (for scientific reasons - of course, of course - there's only three of them and one of them is a photographer)
Leading sponsors are a very very big reinsurance company who do what they coyly call "specialist" reinsurance and the leading carbon credits trading exchange.(Minor ones are Japanese electronics companies)

Good point Jim.

I guess with all of the Man Made Global Warming hype they believe (I wish it warm, I wish it warm), they are still 3 collective IDIOTS who forgot that it is still WINTER IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE!

Too bad they did not take that Ass-Hat NASA's Hansen along for a mobile food supply.

I bet they're wishing to God there were some global warming now.

Sorry, but they're in Tristan territory now. I regret they're in this fix, but find it hard to generate a lot of sympathy for them.

Anyone know how I can get their email address so I can send them a friendly, "Ha-Ha!"?
