Global warming activist freezes to death in Antarctica
the fox nation ^ | March 29, 2010 | Unattributed

Famed global warming activist James Schneider and a journalist friend were both found frozen to death on Saturday, about 90 miles from South Pole Station, by the pilot of a ski plane practicing emergency evacuation procedures.


 
"I couldn't believe what I was seeing", recounted the pilot, Jimmy Dolittle. "There were two snowmobiles with cargo sleds, a tent, and a bright orange rope that had been laid out on the ice, forming the words, 'HELP-COLD'."


 
One friend of Prof. Schneider told ecoEnquirer that he had been planning a trip to an ice sheet to film the devastation brought on by global warming. His wife, Linda, said that she had heard him discussing the trip with his environmental activist friends, but she assumed that he was talking about the Greenland ice sheet, a much smaller ice sheet than Antarctica.


 
"He kept talking about when they 'get down to chili', and I thought they were talking about the order in which they would consume their food supplies", Mrs. Schneider recounted. "I had no idea they were talking about Chile, the country from which you usually fly or sail in order to reach Antarctica."


 
Apparently, while all of Prof. Schneider's friends were assuming that the July trek would be to Greenland, during Northern Hemisphere summer, his plans were actually to snowmobile to the South Pole - which, in July, is in the dead of winter.


 
Mr. Dolittle related how some people do not realize that, even if there has been warming in Antarctica, the average temperature at the South Pole in July still runs about 70 degrees F below zero. "Some people think that July is warm everywhere on Earth.

Good grief! This has to be satire. The compounded stupidity on display can not be attributed to a world renowned scientist of any stripe, even a warmer propagandist..

God and nature have from the beginning of time provided earth's climate and the changes affecting it . Scientists are ultimately subject to both, despite and no matter what their theories and projections.

I did a FR Search, and it was not there when I posted it. IMHO it’s vital anyone posting fill in the keywords so we can verify if something’s already been posted.
Thank you.

Wasn't trying to be hall monitor...just trying to save some people time by pointing to the other thread where people weren't sure if it was real or satire.

For me, the pilot named Jimmy Dolittle was just too much of a coincidence.

That’s what can happen when a leftard starts to believe his own lies. Unfortunately, they usually arrange it so that other people instead of themselves suffer for their ignorant ideological intransigence.

This sort of satire lets you see what you want to believe.
