Global Warming Activist, Journalist, Perish in Antarctica
Global warming activist James Schneider and a journalist were found frozen to death only 90 miles from their destination, South Pole Station, seen here during the warm season.
(Punta Arenas, Chile) 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."
"And I was surprised to see how close they got to South Pole Station. They ran through all of their gas supplies for the snowmobiles", explained Doolittle. "They had cold weather gear and clothes, but during this time of year you just don't go outside unless it is an emergency."
"At least James died for something he believed in", said Mrs. Schneider. "He died while trying to raise awareness of the enormous toll that global warming is taking on the Earth."
“What kind of happy juice was his wife drinking that she didn’t know the difference between Greenland and Antarctica. There are times when justice is served...”
She sounds like so many really dumb liberals, we know and avoid if possible. She probably has 2-3 instant unemployment degrees with so called honors.
It’s a spoof. Check this out from link at same site

I may be mistaken, but I don’t think any polar bears are on Antarctica.
BWwhaahhaaahahaaaaa!
Fresh frozen activist...
AAAAAH HAAHAHAhahahahahaaaa!!!
He flew his B25 to the Antarctic - 30 seconds over the south pole - then headed on to ditch in China. He was held there until the earth cooled...
ROFLOL!!
Can this be for real?
Apparently you can. Unless I miss my guess, this is a satire site. The guy's wife that that when they talked about "getting down to chili" they were talking about the order of their food consumption rather than the south american country of Chile? Come on! And read some of the other articles at the original source. The reason that it sounds so Onionesque is that it is a satire site.
July is WINTER at the South Pole.
This is satire, right? Its just getting so hard to tell.
Turns out Mr Schneider died raising awareness of the rampant stupidity within the Warmist Community.
I for one, appreciate his sacrifice.
The joke of it was insinuated....
This site is almost as good as the Onion News Network!
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them.
