Don’t these ‘researchers’ realize that the first week of summer in Antarctica is still very cold!
‘The ice is building around the ship.’ Yea, that ought to tell them what they need to know about ‘climate change’ Even if it did warm 3 degrees C. it would still be quite frosty. And these are the learned ones? Make them pay for the rescue.
A French Icebreaker on the way to rescue?
…..what could go wrong?
“A French Icebreaker on the way to rescue?
…..what could go wrong?”
A Chinese icebreaker any better?? Probably like all the Chinese manufactured crap that lasts until you get it out the door of the store.
There’s a fitting epitaph for you: “GW alarmists, froze to death after being beset by ice IN THE SUMMER”
I wish no harm to anyone, but think it would be good if this lingered for a few weeks and caused some peril…no one should die or be harmed.
Will be interesting to see how (not, if) the mainstream media will explain record sea ice as being caused by global warming.
The Fox article as hilarious. (And this is Fox?)
1) The footage shown had nothing to do with this mishap…just file footage. Just a bunch of ships in cold waters..could be in the Arctic for all we know.
2) This takes the cake. Quote, “…the scientists have continued their research while stuck, counting birds in the area …” This is somehow supposed to tell us this is serious research I guess. This is about the same as me standing in my front yard counting the house sparrows and then making some profound statement about the bird populations in Canada and possibly even connecting my front-yard bird count to global warming and its effects on avian life in Canada. Blah. Yada. Blah. Yada. Blah.
HA HA HA … maybe I am just a cynic. Above I wrote, “The footage shown had nothing to do with this mishap…just file footage. Just a bunch of ships in cold waters..could be in the Arctic for all we know.” Was partially correct…sure there is no actual footage of the rescue ice breakers in action, but the file footage is lame.
That ship sat the start of the Fox video? The Stena Bulk Icer? It is an oil tanker!
Here: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/12/28/rescue-icebound-antarctic-ship-faces-setback/
At 19 seconds the video refers to an Australian ice breaker and shows the Stena Bulk oil tanker which is reg’d in Finland. (It was reg’d in Finland at one time.)
Seems ironic that they show an oil tanker (seemingly coming to the rescue) in the video about a climate research ship. Maybe I am just catty. ☺ http://members.shaw.ca/cwrbc-lot-users/tanker.jpg
Ice Happens. Deal with it.

I wonder if the Captain of that Chinese icebreaker is any relation to the pilot of that Chinese airliner that bounced it’s tail off a breakwater.
Remember: Capt. Ho Lee Fuk?
I,too, hope no one comes away with more than a touch of frostbite,and I urge all governments to spend whatever it takes to rescue these courageous researchers/zealots.
If it amounts to billions and billions, enough to cure starvation in the Third World,so be it. White scientists with an agenda are worth way more than a bunch of nobodies.
I thought the same thing, Clive. Next time I see birds on the back deck, I’ll call myself a “researcher”. And drilling holes in the ice to photograph wildlife?!?! Yeah, real “research”. I’ll look through a knot hole in the fence and count the squirrels.
This will be happening more and more, and it’s been going on for a few years now. Navigation is based on previous summer ice extent patterns. However, for the past five years or so, Antarctic ice has been growing significantly. What it shows is that push-button navigation just isn’t good enough; mariners are going to have to rely to a greater degree on real sea conditions.
As the comments about French and Chinese icebreakers, some of you need to grow up. A lot. You sound as irrational as John or Phil or a few other leftist trolls.
So the largest summer ice cap at Antarctica during rampant capitalist global warming, shocking.
Christmas is over for another year.
Perhaps Santa can free up a reindeer to guide this misguided party beck to safety. Donner may be available.
A global warming public relations stunt gone wrong.. Lets bounce off to the south pole and document the warming when its -50 outside.. Im quite sure they are not blind or stupid but when you have paid 1.5 million dollars to trump up a awareness campaign (based on BS) your kinda expected to press on..
Eat sleep and play euchre like all the other climate swindlers..
So they pressed on because the only thing that mattered was getting there so they can pop open a can of propaganda take a few pictures and get back below deck before the cards get cold..
They blinded me with science.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V83JR2IoI8k
Greg, I was wondering when someone would mention the Russian nuclear icebreakers. It would probably take them a week to get there from the the Baltic or the White Sea.
Old news. The French gave up, it is an Australian ice breaker coming.
Well, they will say that it’s the diesel engines fault. Should have been Tesla power.
That would be just in time for them to free all the other ice breakers. Let the fun begin!
I’ll leave my engine running at the next train crossing for y’all. We aren’t all heartless conservatives, you know.
Time for a musical interlude by Corb Lund ☺ http://youtu.be/pDY6bWT5oTM
Just imagining a whole slew of ice breakers trying to get each other out. ☺
The arrogance and effeteness of our ruling elites is staggering. It was not unknown
for the early polar explorers to be stuck in ice for a season, or even a year. But
with these people, a little inconvenience and they are whining for rescue at any
cost.
When Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance became stuck in Antarctic pack
and was being slowly crushed, the crew abandoned ship and spent several months on ice floes. When the second began to break up, the men took
to their three 6.1 m lifeboats and crossed 350 miles to Elephant Island.
Elephant Island was desolate and the men were unlikely to be rescued there,
so Shackleton and five others set sail in one of the lifeboats (strengthened
and with a deck built on it) for South Georgia,about 800 nmi distant. The
voyage took several weeks, and they arrived in the midst
of a severe storm. They finally landed but then had to trek over 50 km across the
mountainous island to the whaling station at Stromness. All men of the party were
saved.
So our modern little tiny people stamp their feet for their icebreakers; showing
at every step what nonentities they are compared to their great predecessors.
Somewhere, Ernest Shackleton is laughing…
And on December 31st we will be told that this has been one of the warmest years ever. Go figure.
giggle.. Snicker.. Chortle..

The Chinese icebreaker is a converted cargo vessel. If you want real serious icebreakers ask the Russians. They specialize in heavy ice escort.
