Early this morning, I received an e-mail message from one of many polar scientists whose important and costly field research in Antarctica has been seriously disrupted by the diversion of icebreakers to try to evacuate the journalists, tourists, crew and scientists on an unessential “expedition” aboard a chartered Russian ship.

NPR reported them as “tourists” trapped in the ice.
Hmmmm.
I thought it was a team of scientists there to study the melting ice caps.

Oh! The humanity. Real science disrupted, the sheer horror is difficult to imagine. What will the planet do, what can we do? What would Shakleton have done without his iPhone, iTunes, and video streaming? The suffering must be beyond contemplation.

That’s why I have always liked clowns (and Slow Joe) because they can always be counted on to make you laugh at the most unexpected times.

With all the Global Warming it was lucky those morons took winter clothing for the Antarctic summer

Leave it to the NY Times to be unintentionally hilarious while being oblivious to the humor. This is almost satire.

The serious scientists should not have asked to send in the clowns!

If you follow the discussion around #SpiritOfMawson — the Twitter hashtag for the project — you’ll also note how this misadventure has energized climate change contrarians, offering a distraction from serious research on the impact of climate change on Antarctica.This is what really bugs the climate alarmists about this screw up.

The NYT is inhabited by a bunch of really mentally ill mofos.
Insanity is rampant on the left. Must have been too much dope their parents ingested.

So what’s actually happening here. Is the expedition carried on by “contrarians” or what?

The rich spoiled greenie tourists and global warming “scientists” are angling to abscond on the first helicopter flights out. Who will be left will be a Russian maintenance crew (proletarians) that will have to have to wait out the freezing months until they can break out of the ice lock
