Antarctic ice breaker now stuck [Rescuing Liberals Trying to prove Global Warming! Oh, the irony!]

South Pole weather has stymied a rescue by a Chinese icebreaker trying to reach an expedition vessel trapped for the past four days in frozen seas, a ship officer told CNN Friday.

The Chinese icebreaker Xue Long, or Snow Dragon, was just six nautical miles away from the rescue, but now it's stuck in an Antarctica ice floe, too...

"The vessel is fine, it's safe and everyone on board is very well," expedition leader Chris Turney, a professor of climate change at University of New South Wales in Australia told CNN. "Morale is really high."...

The expedition to gauge the effects of climate change on the region began November 27.

The media won't really emphasize this fact, but the kids being rescued are apparently out there to try and prove GLOBAL WARMING is real...and of course it is all man's fault.

Getting stuck in thickening ice...when it is SUMMER in the southern hemisphere strikes me as funny.

Al Gore's cult shown to be wrong again. :-)

Ice breakers are killing the antarctic ice!

I saw an interview yesterday with one of these guys on the Russian boat ....

He talked about their conditions, weather etc.....but he also said that THE PACK ICE HAD GROWN OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS....

so much for "global warming"

I guess it was so cold for him that his tears froze.

So why are these idiots being rescued?

The Global Warming was so thick you could cut it with a chainsaw.

Rapidly increasing snowpack in Antarctic

Last I heard, the Chinese icebreaker was not actually stuck, but could not get any closer to the ship it was trying to rescue.

It looks like the expedition leader is a “Global Warming” now “Climate Change” entrepreneur. He set up a couple of businesses to profit off of the scare.

Kind of hard to keep your “scientific objectivity” when you only profit if the scare is kept going.

I do not know if has actually made any money off of this stuff, but someone is paying for this expedition.

Sounds like a textbook example of natural selection.

[Anton.Rutter]

I have no pity whatsoever, except for the rescuers.

Fear not any minute now global warming will hit and the ice and polar bears will be gone.

[JSteff]

Uh, there are NO POLAR BEARS in the Antarctic.

[biff]

Maybe so, but look at #12. Photographic proof that they have waitresses dressed in sexy outfits serving hot steaming pie. The heck with the bears!! LOL

[spudville]

See? Gone already.

Well at least the kids are getting a REAL education about globull warming.

[Sawdring]

The expedition is trying to update scientific measurements taken by an Australian expedition led by Douglas Mawson that set out in 1911.

Must be a typo.

I love a feel good story first thing in the morning.

Uh, there are NO POLAR BEARS in the Antarctic.

SEEEE! GLOBAL WARMING KILLED ALL THE POLAR BEARS AT THE SOUTH POLE!!! /s
