  1. Bwaaahaaahaaa!
    Anybody want to take bets that the scientists on the ship will critically examine their theory of global warming/climate change/extreme weather/insert scary new phrase here in light of their recent experience?

  2. That must be that well known multi year Irony Ice.
    Quite rare, only occurs when the density of Eco Idiots reaches a critical mass and the Global Warming Propaganda Attempts reach the Really, Really Stupid level.

  5. But can the world afford to lose more brave writers for The Guardian?
    Oh. … It can? … Really? … You’re sure about that? … Okay.

  6. Networks Miss ‘Climate Change’ Irony of Ship Stuck in 10 Feet of Antarctic Ice

    .On Monday December 30, all three networks covered the story, but only CBS even used the words “climate change” when discussing the trapped ship. All three failed to point out the irony that this event is an embarrassment for those pushing the liberal “climate change” narrative.

  8. There’s some leadership to follow.
    Sort of like a frag situation in a B rated Vietnam flick.

  9. Sure,Al,I’ll bet the farm this experience won’t make any difference to these guys or their fans at all.
    At the original link to this story, most of the commenters figured this was a temporary glitch in the ongoing catastrophe of global warming. There were a few comments that claimed this is proof positive of climate change.
    You can’t make religious zealots change their beliefs,and AGW/CC is a religion,a fanatical and extremely harmful religion,far worse than Islam.

  11. You are being sarcastic, right?
    The “scientists” on the ship appear to be staggeringly incompetent.

  12. One of the things I muse about when I read stories like this and we all (that is the sane, normal people)get such a huge chuckle out of is this very profound question:
    Do you think there is a big laugh fest going on around the Throne?
    And also this one: Do angels high-five?

  14. The heart of this story is the massive iceberg BO9B. That’d be the same icecube that had the greenies foaming at the mouth in 2010.
    “The fast ice was partly in the area because of the huge iceberg, B09B. This broke away from the Antarctic continent in 2010, collided with and snapped off the extended part of the Mertz glacier, and then grounded itself in the entrance to Commonwealth Bay. Since then, the sea ice that would normally have formed and blown out to sea has instead been blocked by B09B and frozen into place.”
    -from the Guardian article in the link.
    Remember that uproar? The Antarctic is melting! Icesheets collapsing! Oh, woe is us!! Never mind irony, this here’s classical Karma.
    (Too many folks here blaming the scientists, for getting stuck; this is 100% on the Captain and crew. This is what they do for a living.)

  15. Funny, I can’t seem to find this story on the Huffpo, CBC, or Toronto Star sites. But they love environmental stories? I wonder why this one didn’t make the cut?

  16. “…Shackleton made it out. I’m sure this intrepid lot can do the same…”
    Or die, trying ….

  17. Once again, the media is the story.
    This propaganda voyage is awash in Presstitutes, yet updates are slow, almost nonexistent.
    How can this be?
    Surely any graduate of urnalism school would know how to spin this story; We are frozen into the ice, climate change hot hot hot, be very very frightened, climate change will freeze you in your tracks, global warming causes more global sea ice,glaciers advance, we are all gonna fry…
    So when the onboard lackeys can’t figure out how to spin, being trapped in the summer ice pack,at summer solstice …. I say its really been a good year for the CAGW cult.

  18. Antarctica is only approachable by sea in the summer and there is never a guarantee that a particular route will be open every year. The ship-supplied research bases carry a 2 year quota of essentials just in case.
    Being stuck in ice on the way down is not unheard of and it’s odd that this story is making news. The normal procedure is to simply wait for the ice to crack and drift apart. It could be PR at work – they are ‘warmists’ after all, or perhaps there really is something unusual about this case.

  19. Hope they ask Al Gore to join them, flying in on his million dollar jet….maybe he can take Ms. May with him!

  20. Why do the Chinese have an icebreaker and what are they doing there. They’re a long way from China. Considering their propensity for claiming parts of international waters and uninhabited islands, I think the Aussie’s should be worried. A lot of oil and minerals in that part of the world and I imagine China’s concern for UN treaties is nonexistent.

  21. They have Chinese flagged fishing vessels to chaperone in the area, as do other countries. One of their factory ships caught fire and sank a while back.

  23. “One of their factory ships caught fire and sank a while back.”
    So there was this Chinese fire drill at sea near Antarctica then?
    Interesting.

  25. …I imagine China’s concern for UN treaties is nonexistent.
    Yeah, they might even pee on it. haha, not peeing on Antarctica, the craziest thing I’ve ever heard…
    Not that I would ever go there, but shooting a couple trophy penguins would be about the only fun to be had. Stuff ’em and hang a rosary around their necks. That would irritate the infidels. lol
