Now sit right back and you'll hear a tale

Now sit right back and you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip
They traveled to Antarctica
Aboard a Russian ship

The chief was a global warming man
The skipper wasn't so sure
But activists set sail that day
For a propaganda tour... a propaganda tour

The water started getting cold
The frozen ship was stuck
Their theories called for melting ice
But they were out of luck... yes, they were out of luck...

The ship ran aground on this block of unexpected ice
With embarrassment....
And skeptics too...
But we spend millions on a hoax

While movie stars
Professors and politicians
Give us contempt and bile

So this is the tale of climate change
It's here for a long, long time
No matter how much their theories fail
Truth has an uphill climb

The government and Hollywood too
Will do their very best
To make us all uncomfortable
In our sustainable nest

No phone, no lights, no motor cars
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe
As primitive as can be

The elites won't join us though, my friends
They're sure to live in style
While we give up our light bulbs
Recant your climate change denial!

They must figure there's a lot more meat on that climate change bone, or else they could just proclaim victory. On second thought, the left doesn't really ever solve anything.

Chinese icebreaker "Snow Dragon" stuck in ice

Rescue ship sent to retrieve stranded Antarctic voyagers now stuck in ice.

An icebreaker carrying 52 passengers who were retrieved from an icebound ship in the Antarctic was told to halt its journey home on Friday after a Chinese vessel involved in the dramatic rescue became concerned that it, too, was trapped in the heavy sea ice.

The icebreaker Aurora Australis had been slowly cracking through thick ice toward open water after a Chinese helicopter on Thursday plucked the passengers from their stranded Russian research ship and carried them to the Aurora.

The agency said there was no danger to anyone on board the Snow Dragon, which reported having several weeks of food supplies on board. But it was yet another wrinkle in the highly complex rescue operation of those on board the Russian ship MV Akademik Shokalskiy, which got stuck in the ice on Christmas Eve.

The Australian icebreaker, Aurora Australis, was originally scheduled to head for the Australian island state of Tasmania. It will now remain on stand-by in the area as a precautionary measure with the 52 passengers aboard. Despite this delay, the passengers have expressed their relief at finally being safe.

the irony continues.. but don't expect to see it covered by the US media..

Snow Dragon Issues Distress

In the aftermath of the latest rescue efforts, it appears the Snow Dragon has also been beset with difficulties. AMSA released a media release on Jan. 3, 2014, at 4:30 p.m. AEDT. The Snow Dragon informed AMSA that it had “… concerns about their ability to move through heavy ice in the area.”

As a precautionary measure, AMSA’s RCC Australia has requested the Aurora Australis remain on standby in the open waters of the area. The Snow Dragon has indicated that it will attempt to traverse through the ice when tidal conditions are more agreeable, during the morning of Jan. 4

As I understand it, the Russian ship owners will be responsible for costs of rescue. The "warmists" get free usage of all that fossil fuel energy, they love to hate.

If you think of the amount of carbon burned/CO2 emissions that have been produced, just so they could go on their little voyage, and then think that 100 years ago, those people would have died on the ice, their ship crushed, if not for the CO2 emissions, it all becomes a little more ironic.

CO2 saved their lives.

on another COLD front..

It looks like our weathermen are taking a cue from Obama,.. blaming someone else for our troubles..



If Northeast US is freezing in January, blame today’s Siberian snowfall. Oct 25, 2013

Snow falling over Siberia is raising the prospect for frigid temperatures in New York come January.

The weather half a world from Central Park can set off atmospheric events that result in icy air descending from the North Pole in December and January, driving U.S. temperatures down and natural gas and heating oil use up, according to Judah Cohen, director of seasonal forecasting at Atmosphere & Environmental Research in Lexington, Mass.... “It’s the best winter predictor that we have,”

One emerging indicator is the over abundance of snow in Siberia so far this fall, which has has run above average. Snow cover in Siberia reached 157 percent of average in September, according to the Rutgers University Global Snow Lab.

Studies have shown that extensive Siberian snow cover in fall can drive the Arctic Oscillation into the negative phase. A negative Arctic Oscillation favors cold outbreaks from the polar regions diving down into the eastern half of the U.S.

The more ground covered by snow across northern Europe and Asia at the end of October, the greater the chances of triggering a phenomenon known as the negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation. That would flood North America, Europe and East Asia with polar air and possibly erect a blocking effect in the North Atlantic that would bottle up the cold in the U.S.

“Through the last week of September, it’s the highest snow total in Eurasia since 1977.”

Warning sarcasm alert!

the global warming nuts tried to warn US,.. that it could hit a tipping point and shove US into an Ice age.. but no.. we just took every sunny day as another excuse to go outside and get work done or to hit the beach...

When will we pull our heads out of the snow and listen.. to them kooks?
