Global warming?

Post by handirifle »

I wonder how many folks on here are aware that the ship that has been stuck for some time in the Antarctic sea ice, was there on a scientific mission to support the polar ice cap melting due to "climate change". Of some 41 news reports on the situation, only one has mentioned their true mission.

Maybe if they left them there, the polar bears wouldn't be in danger of starving?

Ya just can't make this stuff up any better than reality.

Rather be eaten by a polar bear than a penguin. Death by penguin would be slow . . .

The "Death of a Thousand Penguins", ancient oriental whaler's torture.

Is it too late to airlift a couple of Polar Bears to the vicinity?

They do have leopard seals, which are very big, and very dangerous.

From what smart people have told me, we are on the way to another ice age.....we are at the peak of global warmth. It is a fact that scientists who try to tell the truth are losing their jobs.---6

Have been for a long time. Look up "Maunder Minimum". Been an issue for a few decades, and only going to get worse. Only reason we aren't frozen already is "global warming"... and it ain't man-made...

Just so we all understand.

They are opposed to burning carbon based fuels because they think it causes global warming.

So. They went to the Antarctic in a carbon fueled ship, got stuck in ice they claimed wasn't there. Had to be searched for by numerous crafts burning carbon fuel. Were eventually rescued by even more and larger craft burning carbon fuel.

Apparently climate scientists aren't exactly rocket scientists.

The ultimate irony would have been if they had been stranded longer and had to eat each other.

it could be quicker if it were a multiple penguin attach, but maybe just a little... :)

Not to stray to far off topic but I remember reading Ernest Shackleton having to shoot a one of those seals with his 92 44-40 that was chasing one of his men. The meat and blubber (for lamp oil) got them out of a tight spot!

Who you trying to fool? Everyone knows those things can't be killed with anything smaller than a 475 Nitro Express.
