Shouldn't the CO₂ haters eschew the use of CO₂ spewing helicopters?

Shucks ... let them stay and prove gb warming ....

[ican'tbelieveit]

This is such a funny tale. So, if the weather lets up, they will try to fly in some people to see if they can rescue the idiots.

If they can rescue the idiots, it will be just to the Chinese ice breaking ship. Then the Australian ice breaking ship will pick them up...

craziness.

Imagine the size of the carbon footprint this little adventure has made. Oh the horror, the absolute horror.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Would Russia do that for us?

[twister881]

AGW phonies to be plucked from a Russian ship by a Red Chinese helicopter and transported to a Red Chinese icebreaker...perfect combination and symmetry of fascism and leftism.

"Passengers link arms and stamp out a helicopter landing site on the ice near the MV Akademik Shokalskiy (back R), still stuck in the ice off eastern Antarctica, as the ship waits for a possible helicopter rescue,"

[Damifino]

Going unnoticed is the fact that these rescue missions at one time were always American ventures. There is no mention (at least none that I am aware) in this several days long saga of an American offer of help.

An example of our reach and influence in decline.

There is something a tad unsettling with the idea of climbing aboard a helicopter MADE IN CHINA.

[Broker]

Sad accurate observation. Meanwhile Obama is snorkeling in Hawaii.

[Paladin2]

"Australian authorities, who are coordinating the rescue, plan to use the helicopter on board the Chinese-flagged icebreaker Xue Long to bring 52 passengers off the boat, leaving behind its 22 crew members."

Large crew.

The theoretical underpinnings of “Climate Science” are those of Karl Marx.

Wouldn’t it be better to release an infinite amount of Fluorocarbons around the area and wait on the ice to melt? Might get two birds with one stone. I encourage the researchers to consider this option first.

[twister881]

Yes, one Big Lie begets another.

Air drop cans of freon, and have the AGW morons spray them around the ship. Or have every coal-fired power plant worldwide increase its output by 400%.

[Gaffer]

If I were the pilot, I’d make each and every one of them sign a statement disavowing Global Warming as communist bullshit subterfuge before I allowed them on my aircraft. I swear I would.

Air drop cans of freon, and have the AGW morons spray them around the ship. Or have every coal-fired power plant worldwide increase its output by 400%.

yep, there is a better way. Am glad you thought of the better way. We all need the electricity. Could we reinstall Freon in our vehicle air conditioning systems? Heck why waste good Freon?

[meatloaf]

There’s a reason for that. We only have one operational ice breaker.

[MrEdd]

Two much larger icebreakers one of ours and one of Russia’s crossed the equator yesterday. Icebreakers are not the fastest ships out there and we do not keep one in the antarctic all of the time.
