To be fair, the ship getting stuck had a lot more to do with winds than it did with the amount of ice around.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
To be fair the extent of the sea ice is the greatest since records have begun. That was widely known to those who venture to Antarctic before Prof. Turney scientist, explorer, author and idiot headed off with his band of merrymakers to substantiate AGW by comparing info with that from Mawson’s expedition.
Of course the fact their tying up two ice breakers, the French ship left early, which hampered legitimate research won’t be mentioned in the media soon. Real scientists working on Antarctic research are pissed.
Too bad he won’t have to par for his misadventure personally. I wouldn’t be unhappy to read about an unpleasant reaction from his university. The fool probably already has tenure.
So, you are saying the winds played the major role with the ice only playing a minor role?
To be fair, the ship getting stuck had a lot more to do with winds than it did with the amount of ice around.
To be fair, these are the same people (AlGore) that said there would be no ice in the Arctic by 2013. Predicted in 2008 at a paid speech in Germany.
Paraphrased - “kid’s won’t know what snow is soon” Dr David Viner, Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia from a UK paper in March of 2000 - can’t link article here on FR due to copyright
Same article in 2000 - Professor Jarich Oosten, University of Leiden in the Netherlands, said snow would remain culturally important to man (even if we did not have any).
Same article (this one is funny) in 2000 - David Parker, Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research said “”British children could have only virtual experience of snow. Via the internet, they might wonder at polar scenes - or eventually “feel” virtual cold.””
The list goes on and on of foolish predictions from idiots like this expedition leader. They shove every high temperature in our face as proof and deny every counter story. They use singular events like this to further their agenda.
You are probably right about the wind being key, but it is summer down there and they are the ones that tell us the ice is disappearing - they have told us this for decades. Al Gore and his merry band of frauds predicted there would be no ice because of man’s activities. That is the point FRiend.
