I have a two-part story to tell.
So, while less ice proves global warming, more ice does too? What a great business! - Greg Gutfeld
Part one: a ship on its way to Antarctica to study disappearing ice due to global warming got trapped in the ice.Part two: ha-ha, ha-ha.
According to The Huffington Post, the ship needed three ice breakers to rescue it and they all failed. So, it sat there like Al Gore wedged in a manhole.
Thankfully, all were rescued but The Huff Po, like others, neglected to say that the scientists were there to study global warming.
Instead, you got this stuff.

GIO BENITEZ, ABC NEWS: Before their ship got stuck in the ice in the middle of a blizzard, the explorers were on a tour of historic sites in Antarctica. Now, it's simply a rescue mission.
SARA JAMES, NBC NEWS: As the Australian maritime experts ponder what next, the crew of the ship say they have enough food and provisions, so scientists keep busy with research and passengers keep the world up to date.

So why no mention of the mission? Because it doesn't fit their story.
But no worries, the stuck ship still proves global warming. Expedition leader Chris Turney says they were trapped in old ice from an iceberg that broke off ages again.
So, while less ice proves global warming, more ice does too? What a great business!
Look, some say Antarctic ice is disappearing, but others say it's grown to a new record two years in a row, with satellite data from 1992-2008 showing a net gain.
So, who's right? I'm no scientist, although I tell people that in bars. But I know not to trust those who make money off panic, be it environmental or otherwise. The same people who scream global cooling, now scream warming, and shout heathen when you point to new cooling data.
The missing polar bears are now back, so let's bring up vanishing ice which is no longer vanishing.
So, unlike that vessel stuck in the ice, I'm thinking this climate change ship has sailed. And you can't blame it on weather, but on a strident ideology that has put real science on ice for decades to come.
