Irony: Chinese icebreaker that rescued global warming scientists is now stuck in ice

Why is it so cold?

As the Chicago area faces perhaps its first 48 hour stretch of sub-zero weather next week, there is another reason to poke fun at the most conceited people on the plant--global warming believers.

If the Marx Brothers were still around, I'm sure they'd be making a movie centered around tormenting pompous so-called climate change experts.

From Reuters:

A Chinese icebreaker that helped rescue 52 passengers from a Russian ship stranded in Antarctic ice found itself stuck in heavy ice on Friday, further complicating the 9-day "roller-coaster" rescue operation.

The Snow Dragon had ferried the passengers from the stranded Russian ship to an Australian icebreaker late on Thursday. It now had concerns about its own ability to move through heavy ice, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said.

"It will attempt to maneuver through the ice when tidal conditions are most suitable during the early hours of 4 January 2014," AMSA said.

The Australian icebreaker carrying the rescued passengers, the Aurora Australis, will remain on standby in open water in the area "as a precautionary measure", the rescue agency said.

What the media is ignoring in their reports is that most of the "passengers" on the Russian ship were global warming believing scientists.
