This just keeps getting funnier.Helicopter rescue delayed as second ship trapped in ice Date January 2, 2014 - 4:25PM Exclusive report from the Aurora Australis as the rescue ice-breaker Xue Long also becomes stuck in pack ice. Plans to rescue 52 passengers trapped on the stricken Russian research ship Akademik Shokalskiy have been thrown into disarray after the Chinese ice-breaker Xue Long itself became stuck in pack ice, west of the Mertz Glacier. It is the second vessel to become trapped in the region in less than two weeks.

You DO have a strange sense of humour, Neut. BTW, the average temp for the continent of Antarctica is well below freezing - a few degrees warmer is hardly going melt all the ice. But the amount of moisture in the air is increasing as it warms up, leading to more snow and freezing rain where the ocean meets the ice, so the ice in that area is actually expanding for the next while, even while parts of Antarctica are melting overall. But of course, all that is too complex for you, so keep on laughing. It will be another decade or two until there's serious thawing in Antarctica. |

Two ships got stuck in that global warming, one was "studying" why the ice was melting. Very funny.The people have been rescued I read though . . . by helicopter.

It's weather when it's cold but it's global warming when it's hot. LOL AGW is close to it's end, even the cultists won't be able to say the cold is caused by warming. |

January 2, 2014 The Global Warming Tipping Point is Near Andrew Thomas Malcolm Gladwell's great book The Tipping Point presents the case that sudden seismic shifts in society can result from small events, if the right factors are present. Tipping points happen when momentum toward an idea builds and finally crosses a threshold where it is evident that a major cultural change has occurred. The global warming tipping point is coming, but not the one anticipated by climate change "experts." Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) theory has been dominant for the past three decades as absolute fact in the public mind. In the last several years, however, cracks in the fortress of "settled science" have appeared, and public opinion has begun to shift. Increasingly, alarmist predictions have failed to come to fruition. In 2004, NASA's chief scientist James Hansen authoritatively announced that there is only a ten-year window to act on AGW (presumably by transferring mass quantities of taxpayer funds to global warmist causes) before climate Armageddon destroys humanity. Well, that window has now shut tight, and AGW is AWOL. Al Gore, the high priest of AGW theory, has closed all of his Alliance for Climate Protection field offices, and laid off 90% of his staff. Contributions have all but dried up since 2008. Australia's conservative government has severely curtailed the country's climate change initiatives and is in the process of repealing its business-killing carbon tax. A group of German scientists predicts dramatic global cooling over the next 90 years toward a new "little ice age." Of course, even many "low information" folks have an awareness of the record increase in Arctic sea ice, as well as the current highly-publicized predicament of the cadre of wealthy global warmists stuck in record-high sea ice while on a cruise to the Antarctic to prove the absence of sea ice. Now the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has quietly downgraded their prediction for global warming for the next 30 years in the final draft of their landmark "Fifth Assessment Report." The effect of this is that they are tacitly admitting that the computer models they have religiously relied-upon for decades as "proof" of AGW theory are dead wrong. The tipping point is near. I can smell it Read more: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2014/01/the_global_warming_tipping_point_is_near.html#ixzz2pHGt0QIb |
