The story that just keeps on giving. MSM doing all they can to prevent the truth coming out again.......The irony in this ship of global warming extremists getting stranded in the very ice they have tried to claim is disappearing is priceless.


A group of climate change scientists were rescued by helicopter Jan. 2, after being stranded in the ice since Christmas morning. But the majority of the broadcast networks’ reports about the ice-locked climate researchers never mentioned climate change.

The Russian ship, Akademic Shokalskiy, was stranded in the ice while on a climate change research expedition, yet nearly 98 percent of network news reports about the stranded researchers failed to mention their mission at all. Forty out of 41 stories (97.5 percent) on the network morning and evening news shows since Dec. 25 failed to mention climate change had anything to do with the expedition.

In fact, rather than point out the mission was to find evidence of climate change, the networks often referred to the stranded people as “passengers,” “trackers” and even “tourists,” without a word about climate change or global warming.

Chris Turney, the expedition’s leader, is a professor of climate change at the University of South Wales. According to Turney’s personal website, the purpose of the expedition is to “discover and communicate the environmental changes taking place in the south.”

Twenty-two crew members stayed with the ship for the time being, as the scientists and researchers were rescued. According to CNN, the ship has enough supplies for “a very long time.”

Three rescue attempts had been thwarted by growing levels of sea ice and weather conditions.

"Outside, blizzard conditions packing an abnormal amount of ice in to the area for this time of the year, summer in the Antarctic," ABC News Correspondent Gio Benitez reported on “Good Morning America” Dec. 31.

On Jan. 2, all 52 passengers were airlifted to a nearby Australian icebreaker ship which had tried, and failed, to plow through the ice and free the Akademic Shokalskiy, on Dec. 30. “Good Morning America” said on Dec. 30, that “the ice could be as thick as 13 feet.”

According to Fox News, Turney admitted “we’re stuck in our own experiment.” They reported on Dec. 30, that a statement from the Australasian Antarctic Expedition said, “Sea ice is disappearing due to climate change, but here ice is building up.”

There was only one news story out of 41 that mentioned climate change. That was CBS “This Morning” Dec. 30. “Despite being frozen at a standstill, the team’s research on climate change and Antarctic wildlife is moving forward,” CBS News Correspondent Don Dahler said. That night, all three evening news programs still failed to make any mention of the group’s climate change research.

The MRC’s Business and Media Institute was unable to view a copy of CBS “Sunday Morning” for Dec. 29, so that broadcast had to be excluded from the tally.

Before their ship got stuck in ice, the researchers were following the trail of the explorer Douglas Mawson, who was stranded in Antarctica for more than a year, beginning in December 1912, according to the website about the expedition.

Don Dahler can probably kiss his job goodbye.

I will never forget this date though, since it fell on my 35th birthday. dmac could have probably told those scientists that this was a bad idea though, since he's got abilities to read 40,000 years of weather patterns.

Why? This was a farce from the beginning. They were never going to do science, but rather shoot for publicity.

The only thing that went wrong is that people aren't giving them money, despite their overt requests.

Who's getting money? Al Gore? Clean energy groups? Scientists get little for their research.

The people on board were making overt requests for funding.

Don't you think they got the grant before they went on the expedition?

Now they can beg for money to get them out. Priceless.

Thousands of scientists around the globe, who don't know each other, are engaged in an amazingly disciplined, grand conspiracy to lie to the people about the existence of AGW - right?

Now this.....Geez

Kerry To Shift State Department’s Focus To Global Warming…



I suppose he’s less likely to muck things up while he’s preoccupied fighting something that doesn’t exist.


As a young naval officer in Vietnam, John Kerry commanded a Swift boat up the dangerous rivers of the Mekong Delta. But when he returned there last month as secretary of state for the first time since 1969, he spoke not of past firefights but of climate change.

“Decades ago, on these very waters, I was one of many who witnessed the difficult period in our shared history,” Mr. Kerry told students gathered on the banks of the Cai Nuoc River. He drew a connection from the Mekong Delta’s troubled past to its imperiled future. “This is one of the two or three most potentially impacted areas in the world with respect to the effects of climate change,” he said.

In his first year as secretary of state, Mr. Kerry joined with the Russians to push Syria to turn over its chemical weapons, persuaded the Israelis and Palestinians to resume direct peace talks and played the closing role in the interim agreement on nuclear weapons with Iran. But while the public’s attention has been on his diplomacy in the Middle East, behind the scenes at the State Department Mr. Kerry has initiated a systemic, top-down push to create an agencywide focus on global warming.

His goal is to become the lead broker of a global, legally binding climate treaty in 2015 that will commit the United States and other nations to historic reductions in fossil fuel pollution.

When those in the future look back on today's right-wing America, they will do so with a sense of revulsion. The combination of greed and stupidity in today's right-wing will have earned it many times over.

You must be standing on your head.

The greed and stupidity of the left wing TODAY make people puke.

I just love it when people confuse climate with weather.

No one does.

That should be the very first question for any energy policy. Some of my major grievances with being able to take global warming fanatics seriously:

1) Their solutions don't actually solve the problem they claim exists. Much like driving in a Prius, many of them have no impact what-so-ever. Carbon credits is a giant boondoggle for economically inferior (read: present day "green") energy and the government itself since it is naturally all taxed.

2) Anybody employed in an energy sector massively dependent upon government subsidy today, and yet even with that subsidy is STILL not competitive, cannot be trusted. This means nuclear, wind, solar, and solar. The viable green stuff is largely already exploited (niche biodiesel, niche geothermal, niche hydroelectric).

3) Any scientist dependent on government dollars -- and keeping those government dollars flowing to maintain their job security -- cannot be trusted to do much more than parrot at least shades of what the government wants to hear. This inevitably feeds heavily back into carbon credits (re-read #1).

4) Contradictory evidence isn't just ignored, it is suppressed. Show me a panic model that predicted our present 10-year (and counting) pause. Oh that's right, all 150+ models used by the UN global warming fanatics didn't predict it.

5) The sheer staggering arrogance to think we humans have a totality of understanding of the Earth's climate when: there are a huge number of variables and none of them can be controlled for, we cannot even reliably predict the climate next week let alone next decade, all of our allegedly super smart models have been dead wrong for a decade and counting, etc. It took us until the last 2 years to even photograph a squid as large as a multi-story building trolling the ocean and duking it out with sperm whales ........... but we understand completely the entire global climate and how all the diverse ecosystems interact and impact climate and how the interstellar influences interact with and impact climate and wow we've even got down the future projection of the changes made on climate by major natural disasters, technological advancement, and future solar activity. RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

Amazingly disciplined?

Once again, you know nothing about the subjects you post about.
