A rescue mission for a ship trapped in ice in Antarctica is under threat as reports have emerged that one of the assisting vessels may itself be stuck.

Fifty-two passengers and four crew members were due to be evacuated by helicopter from China's Xue Long ship as soon as conditions allowed.

However, the Xue Long has barely moved in a day and may be stuck in the ice.

global warming is the biggest lie ever told and the crime of the century

The news media has been screech for 30 years that the ice caps are melting. however reality is more ice than ever just measured in Antarctica(South Pole)

funny that you mention the Goracle: algore predicted that the Arctic would be ice free by now. so it's 2013 and guess what the NORTH polar ice cap grew by an astonishing 60% in this past year:

Just happened to be delivering provisions to the McMurdo neighborhood with 75,000 H.P. under the hood and rated for 6 meter ice.

To be honest. There is less ice in some areas, but certainly not a disaster:

that’s what I said . that is where most of the world’s ice is too.

You seem to be very passionate about this issue.

You do know that this whole carbon thing was sold to Al Gore by some smart *uc*s From Enron when Gole was VP ?

[Democrat_media]

no the global warming hoax is about growing government(socialism) and enslaving us ,destroying capitalism.

[COBOL2Java]

I see what you did there! Best laugh of the day.

Thanks for cluing me in! I went back and searched. PajamaBoy! LOL.

[Zeneta]

Yes, I’m well aware of that.

I’m asking you, if you understand HOW they are actually going about this effort ?

There’s is soo much more to this than you may realize.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Think the “tourists” will have to move the deck chairs to catch more sun before the rescue?

[Zeneta]

Do you remember Knut ?

The first poster child of the Global Warming cult.

Well, Knut grew up.

It is generally colder during the summer for geographic regions below the equator.

[Uri’el-2012]

It is generally colder during the summer for geographic regions below the equator.

It is generally colder during OUR summer
for geographic regions below the equator.

During OUR Winter it is much warmer
south of the Equator

[unlearner]

That is what I was trying to say. My point was that Antarctica is usually warmer this time of year, but I guess that is what you were saying in the first place. I did not get your original comment without your clarification. My bad.

They're getting taken out by helicopter in the next day or so. They haven't even come close to running out of cake and ice cream yet.

“I think wintering over would give them a full appreciation of their “global warming.” “
*******************************************************************
Actually it would be “summering over”. This whole thing is becoming so comical—you just can’t make stuff like this up.

[Zakeet]

this ain’t funny anymore, all these people may croak

For some reason, you reminded me of the old joke:

What do you call a jumbo jet loaded with lawyers that crashes into the sea?
A good start!

But you're right ... this ain't funny anymore ... nope ... sure isn't.

[PLD]

You are probably right..

[dhs12345]

Lol. Where is this from?
