As usual with all liberals, all that matters is that they have "good intentions."
"I really like penguins," Trust said. And, she said, "I wanted to see the ice before it melts because of global warming." Penguins to eco-tourists...BUG OFF!
The MS Explorer sinks slowly into the frigid sea after ramming into an iceberg in the early morning hours of Nov. 23 off Antarctica. Encinitas resident Torrey Trust, who was honeymooning on the ecotourist cruise with husband Trevor Takayama, observed that unlike in the movie 'Titanic,' her ship took a long time to sink.

If Global warming does not break up all the ice bergs, liberals cruising around them will.
(This Photo) In 2000, several thousand penguins were affected by a fuel oil spill after the iron-ore carrier Treasure sank off South Africa. Many oil-soaked birds were cleaned and released.

Well, one less copy of Gore's movie to pollute minds.
Well, at least until it stank...er...sank.
They should drug test the skipper and the crew. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were smoking the herb or dropping acid during this hippie cruise...
Can you imagine all those poor penguins smelling of patrulli oil and tripping on blotter acid.
Grateful Dead and Phish CDs litering the beaches...

“when, at about midnight on Thanksgiving night” with their hippie bellies stuffed with Tofurkey and organic, free ranch cranberry sauce...
This story reminded me of my favorite Wilbur Smith novel, “Hungry as the Sea”. The first part dealt with a cruise ship in trouble in the Southern Ocean and the efforts of a tugboat captain to save them.
The guys on the Exxon Valdez were mere pikers compared to these dirty eco-hippies and their washed ashore paraphernalia.
I wish they had been environmentally consistent and insisted on rowing back to Argentina. Think of all the carbon wasted rescuing these morons and bringing them back to civilization.
By the way, notice the eco-tourists’ ship has a big red star on top. Coincidence? I doubt it.

Ships Aren’t ‘Eco’

Remember how some folks were against allowing Mexican trucks cross the border, due to questions on whether those trucks were as well maintained and therefore as safe as US trucks? It’s kind of the same thing with ships. If you have a leaky, aging rustbucket, you just register it in some country with easy regulations (like Liberia)—then you’re free to sail it wherever you want. Such as to Antarctica. The MS Explorer was built almost 20 years ago as a reasearch vessel for the Soviet Union, and has had five changes of ownership since then. The website for the ship’s latest owners describes it as quite a luxurious ship, but doesn’t say where the ship is registered.

unbelievable.
do these people ever think that IF global warming is caused
by evil human beings driving cars, flying airplanes, cruising
luxury boats
that their expense of these precious resources is contributing to
global warming?
" ... cutting short the cruise on the 12th day of what was to be a 19-day voyage."
Do these people work for a living?
" ... a recent UC San Diego film production graduate ... "
Obviously not.
I guess the biochemist husband is an academic, getting the entire summer off and three weeks in the fall off.
Maybe they are French.
Do bongs sink or float?
