The Federal Government of Australia laid out $2.4 million (Australian dollars) to help rescue the ship full of global warming true believers, who got ice-bound in Antarctic waters they were dead certain had to be melting. And now it wants to paid back for that needless expense. Watt's Up With That cites this Australian news report:

Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt yesterday said costs, estimated at about $2.4 million, would be sought from the insurer of the operators of the vessel.

It seem that the Klimate Kook in charge kept taking people out on excursions even after being told to return to the ship because of ice conditions.

I hope they hold him personally liable for every penny. And anyone else who helped organize this idiocy.

stooopid should be made to pay for itself...

i said weeks ago, send in the helicopters, and then send them a bill.

this feels just SO good, on all levels.

(I hope they planted their damn trees in New Zealand to make up for their additional “Carbon Emissions”)

Like the electorate in this country will EVER here of all this stuff?

That’s dreaming.

I think we’re past the point of no return. Illiterate electorate will still be here after this present tumor is removed.

[The Great RJ]

I think hypocrite, Al Gore, should also pay up with some of his Arab oil money.

[Chode]

Don’t forget about the French icebreaker that responded and the Chinese icebreaker that assisted in the rescue.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Should have made them pay cash up front for the rescue .... they are Progressives and they will not pay.

[wtd]

Australian ministers rethink gree climate fund . . .seems the Aussie administration is one of the only govts coming to its senses about this issue. May it be very contagious to it's western cousins.

[onyx]

You’re right.

[Nuc 1.1]

You are correct, they will never pay a dime.

[TBP]

Somehow, the Warmist cult will insist that the public pay for it.

[caww]

Maybe they can bill the EPA directly!

Put a lien on the ship. Then call the guys at Lizard Lick Towing and that FL outfit on South Beach Tow...”Got an interesting repo for you...”
