Leader of ship trapped in Antarctica: We're 'stuck in our own experiment'

I'm going to stop asking "How stupid can you be?" People are taking it as a challenge.

Fox News: 'Stuck in our own experiment': Leader of trapped team insists polar ice is melting​

The leader of a scientific expedition whose ship remains stranded in Antarctic ice says the team, which set out to prove climate change, is "stuck in our own experiment."

But Chris Turney, a professor of climate change at Australia’s University of New South Wales, said it was “silly” to suggest he and 73 others aboard the MV Akademic Shokalskiy were trapped in ice they’d sought to prove had melted. He remained adamant that sea ice is melting, even as the boat remained trapped in frozen seas.

"We're stuck in our own experiment," the Australasian Antarctic Expedition said in a statement. "We came to Antarctica to study how one of the biggest icebergs in the world has altered the system by trapping ice. We ... are now ourselves trapped by ice surrounding our ship.

"Sea ice is disappearing due to climate change, but here ice is building up," the Australasian Antarctic Expedition said in a statement.

Uh-huh. Check. Got it.

"Antarctic ice is melting everywhere on the continent except where the Akademic is stuck in it."

Thanks. Good to know.

This clown actually suggested that the ice his ship is stuck in is "old," part of 75-mile long sheet that broke loose from the continent three years ago. OK. Fine. So ... let me get this straight: The ice melted enough for this ice sheet to break away from the continent, but then didn't melt completely once it got out to sea, because ... ? Hello? Anyone home?

Ice caps grow, ice caps shrink, it has nothing to do with man



This is the ice cap on Mars over 6 months.

Yup. Somehow I doubt Turney would agree with us, though

Oh no! We've "global warmed" Mars!!!

Climate change has nothing to do with man. It is simply a political agenda to further international taxation and impose international laws over the constitution.
