Hooray! (I’ve cleaned the story up a bit)
(NBC News) All 52 passengers who were stranded aboard an ice-locked (fossil fueled) ship in Antarctica for more than a week were rescued by (fossil fueled) helicopter early Thursday, officials said.
The (fossil fueled) Akademic Shokalskiy sent out a distress call on Christmas morning after it became surrounded by sea ice while on a
scientific missionclimate change spreading awareness stunt more than 1,700 miles south of Australia.On Thursday, a (fossil fueled) helicopter from a (fossil fueled) Chinese ice-breaking ship Xue Long — or Snow Dragon — transported groups from a makeshift helipad which the passengers had stomped out in the ice near the (fossil fueled) ship.
The  Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) tweeted at 6.20 a.m. ET Thursday that all of the 52 passengers had been airlifted from the (fossil fueled) Akademik Shokalskiy and were now on board the (fossil fueled) Aurora Australis ice-breaker.

Because temperatures below -15F are warm.
The New Nostradamus of the North notes that the Australian taxpayers will probably be on the hook for the cost to rescue the climate alarmists.
Marc Morano is calling it the Clitanic.

Can’t make this stuff up.

“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.†– Saul Alinsky
Debaters resort to mockery and ridicule when they run out of legitimate arguments, and the science deniers had few arguments to begin with.
92% of far-right Christians do not rely on science and evidence to make decisions, according to Pew.
The evidence shows that the Earth is warming, despite the protests of jimhoft, the pirate, rusty and Mobil.
It’s comments like that that make me wonder if Jeff is John Ryan.
I kinda miss ol’ Johnny.
As for Jeffrey, using Alinsky is the left’s talent. Mockery and ridicule is what the warmists do to us, not visa versa. We might point out the hilarity of an ironic situation like this one.
Your Pew poll is a laugh riot as well. And of course, only an Alinsky-ite would say such nonsense about “far-right Christians†in the first place. Gotta be dumb to be BOTH Christian AND right, yes? And who said any of us were “far-right Christians� How would you know this about any of us?
The evidence shows the earth is warming? Yes, the fudged evidence that is being used falsely to claim we need to “do something” right away. Now let’s see the real stuff.
100% of this accusation is bogus and not worth ridicule.
You know that the left is desperate when they have to make statements that are lies and expect people to believe them.
J, don’t you think those stranded should have waited for a solar-powered copter? I think they should be kicked off your team. “92% of far-right Christians don’t rely on science and evidence to make decisions.” What makes you think those arguing against AGW are far-right Christians? What’s a far-right Christian? What kind of decisions are they talking about? Emotional? Business? Here, try this one: “100% of climateers don’t use science and evidence when arguing for the existence of their religion because they don’t have the science nor the evidence to back it up.”
There are Christians who are NOT conservative, but few far rightists who are not Christian. It is sad when the religious feel compelled to deny their beliefs for political reasons, and then make specious arguments (I.e., intelligent design! science denial). Why does the same tiny minority who deny the evidence of global warming also deny the evidence of evolution?
Right wingers use alinsky all the time, but deny the obvious and project their actions onto others (it’s always projection).
“Why do the same tiny minority who deny evidence of global warming also,deny the evidence of evolution.” Oh, I don’t know, J. Why do you continue to make such outlandish statements with no data to back it up? I’d love to see the no evolution -no global warming data. Or is that data lost down the same rabbit hole the warming data went?
And J, still waiting to hear if you think the climate fools should have waited for a solar- powered copter.
This is a false premise question as there is no correlation between those who don’t believe in evolution (which is undefined in the Pew survey) and the many people and scientists who don’t believe in global warming.
Maybe a good question to ask yourself is “why do the majority of scientists believe in God?”
The planet has not warmed in 12 years. It must be a religious experience to want to believe otherwise. How appropriate that global warming scientists wanted to find evidence of warming and ice melting but instead got stuck because of additional ice build up.
What type of rescue classes do these sailors take to prepare for catastrophe ?
