A funny thing happened during Australian climate-change professor Chris Turney's venture to retrace a 1912 research expedition in Antarctica and gauge how climate change has affected the continent: Two weeks into a five-week excursion, Turney's good ship MV Akademik Shokalskiy got trapped in ice. It turns out, global warming notwithstanding, that there's so much ice down under that two ice-breaking vessels sent to rescue the research team cannot reach the Australasian Antarctic Expedition.
Years ago, global warming believers renamed the phenomenon "climate change" - probably because of pesky details like unusually cold weather undercutting the warming argument. Now, just as advocates argue that Earth is approaching a tipping point, there's so much ice floating in Antarctica during the Southern Hemisphere's summer that the Australasian Antarctic Expedition posted in a statement: "We're stuck in our own experiment."

Global warming ping
You can’t fix stupid.
It will be interesting to see how this influences the “research” summary or findings, if at all.
On second thought, nah, too much grant money at stake to go against the current liberal dogma.
Almost as good as Gore getting trapped in a snowstorm during the big “Warming” conference.
LOL.
these retards need to be put into a nut house and put on display when people talk about how smart these Darwinists, commie, leftists, Demonkrats try to be.
Stuck in their own (bull) excrement is more like it.
Um...[cough]...Ping!
my chuckle muscle is nearly worn out with this story. LOL!
I’m not: they give Debra Saunders pretty much free reign as the token conservative columnist. It helps keep up the pretense of doing objective journalism, which in turn sells more left-biased newspapers.
All that global warming (somewhere...) is driving all the cold to other places. (/S)
Proof that God does indeed have a sense of humor.
Maybe you are aware of the deeper irony of Sir Douglas Mawson & his trip that Turney was emulating. The MSM romanticize that aspect without regard to Mawson's disastrous expedition.
This ice isn't REALLY here. It's a fiction created by big oil and deniers.
It only LOOKS like we're stuck here.
Umm...the extreme heat made this ice....yeah that's the ticket!
This was all gone back in 1999 according to Vicar Algore. And it's only gotten hotter each year.
Do NOT believe the truth, facts or your own lying eyes!
We have a SCIENTIFIC consensus!
....Now, could someone please help us out of this ice?”
Thanks for posting the Mawson expedition. It was painful to read.
The Antarctic summer strikes again!
;^)
Will they “Slip the surly bonds of ice to touch the face of Gaia ?”
