#1 Choppers were supposed to be a last resort. Are they out of food yet?

#2 Seem fairly chipper for their dorkery endangering the lives of two other crews plus helicopter participants. They say they have plenty of food and are doing their experiments, Gaia will provide the rest.

#3 BBQ'd penguin-kabobs and Gaia singalongs on youtube. Only way these tin-eared dingleberries could be even more mock-worthy

#4 Are they out of food yet?

No, but the are running short of irony. Hence, the airlift.

Actually, as I understand it, the danger is the ship's hull being crushed by the pressure of wind-driven ice. Hull breaches are often associated with sinking.

#5 p*ssies. They should be forced to go all Shackleton and prove their dedication

#6 I think the Alferd Packer or George Donner method would be more appropriate.

#7 Just read the chopper may be grounded by weather.
Uh-oh...

#8 I think each one should be required to say, "Global Warming is a myth" and be recorded saying it BEFORE any rescue, They refuse, they stay.

#9 I think each one should be required to say, "Global Warming is a myth"

Or do a linear regression on the *unadjusted* temperature data. Which is basically what RJ said.

#10 I would like to see them martyred for their cause. It's only proper. Live by the climate, die by the climate. Heh.

#11 Plenty of food? I heard they have a week's worth.

#12 I heard they have a week's worth. They'll always have each other.

#13 Or maybe that's when they run out of filet for the paying customers and have to switch to hardtack and salt pork.

#14 Maybe the ice pressure could poke a hole in the hull, first. A small gash would be OK.

#15 Other than themselves, I think their biggest danger is not necessarily a hull breach, but losing power. Poor little egos would loose their ability send pictures of themselves doing yoga and making swarmy faces doing things.

#16 Just read the chopper may be grounded by weather.

And here I was thinking about the chances of one of those blinding storms like one sees in the movies.

#17 Is Pajama Boy there? "Hi little buddy, ever heard of a Siberian Sandwich". "No, well come along with me and the Chief Mechanic, we'll get ya outta here.".

#18 See #7.

#19 What's really rich is John Coleman (founder of weather channel) who reached out to Anthony, was one of the first majors to 'come out' against global warming, calling it the greatest scam in history.

Now John is working with Anthony of WUWT fame.

Two of the greatest debunkers of the global warming cult are helping the faux-scientists out from their faux-science hubris.

Rich and tasty irony.
