Paging Capt Shackleton, please pick up the white courtesy telephone....
is there an organization we can contribute to that encourages, promotes some Global Warming?
Isn’t it high summer in the southern hemisphere right now? It should be 100 degrees F where that ship is stuck.

My cousin Harry was the best icebreaker I’ve ever known, thanks to him I met a number of loose women at New York parties.
I agree with the jokes and the attitudes about global warming and the poetic justice of what is happening. But at the same time, this now becomes an extremely dangerous situation. If the ice is too thick for an ice breaker, that means its probably too thick for the hull of the trapped ship. As ice thickens it will press harder and harder on the hull. Even arctic research vessels are susceptible to crushing ice.
Algore, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Oh, the huge manatee!!!!
Someone clue me in, why don’t they hike 7 miles? Snow on the ice? No really really warm jacket?
You wouldn’t catch me anywhere near Antarctica without the ability to hoof it or survive extreme cold. (Of course there is a very good chance I’ll freeze to death someday on the Long Island expressway).
Why does China have an ice breaker?
If I were Tony Stark I would buzz their ship and drop a package of swimsuits and tanning oil on their deck.
All these tourists, masking as “researchers”, are going to get an education on the difference between climate variability and climate change.
Time for the helicopters, and send then a new, and larger, bill.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Shackleton's Endurance, 1915.
Global Warming guru Algore – wearing his ever present Nobel medal – is seen here en-route to an important “scientific” conference in Nassau hosted by the UN/IPCC where he was to be the keynote speaker.
Topics on the agenda were to have included “Finding a Good Bail Bondsman,” “Not ALL Criminal Lawyers Are Sharks,” “Changing Careers for Dummies,” “You Want Fries With That?,” “How To Encrypt Emails,” “The Best Prison Jobs,” “Getting Along With Your Cellmate” and “Getting Used to Sleeping On Your Back.”
A sudden – and unfortunate – blast of what the “scientist” in charge of the conference termed “global warming” caused the meeting to be rescheduled until Algore can be thawed some time next Spring – assuming there will BE one.
Our reporter has learned that the influential conservative web site Free Republic has launched a contribution drive to rent a freezer locker in which to keep Gore for the 10 to 15 years estimated it will take for the so-called “mainstream media” to begin covering the Climategate story.
If they get hungry enough, there's at least some food around.
If I can't do that, I spend all of my time looking for a place in the sun and out of the wind.
What is wrong with these people other than they have way too much disposable income?
Don’t a darn thing about ice and ships but how do ‘ice breaking ships’ do the chore?
You know everyone on the ship believes the hoax of Global Warming.
