The expedition of warmists now on a Russian ship trapped in ice is called “Spirit of Mawson” in honor of explorer Douglas Mawson who, a century ago, spent two years on Antarctica during which he lost two colleagues on a trek. Mawson himself survived only by eating his huskies and trudging back on feet that had lost the skin of the soles.

Guardian journalist Laurence Topham on the ‘Spirit of Mawson’ now demonstrates how that spirit lives on in this ship of warmists, awaiting rescue by helicopter after a week trapped in ice they’d assumed was melting away:

It is quite stressful… I miss banana and peanut butter milkshakes… I’ve got this really thin, small bed… I’ve hurt my back… I jammed my leg in the door last night… And it’s only going to get worse… Stranded in ice. Oh, God I’m going mad.

They sure breed them tough these days (not).

The idea that these pansies would start off by comparing themselves to someone like Mawson is laughable.

we were debating who would start eating the others first...

some of the photos cracked me up, like the penquins coming out to stare at the idiots...the ones stuck in the nonexistant ice that they went down there to prove wasn't there...

so they spent months winnowing out the 'best' people to brave the Antartic, then just sold off the remaining births to just anyone? soooo...if you dont' actually HIRE someone, even though they are present, they don't affect the trip? huh?

http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/98_per_cent_of_us_reports_dont_mention_the_ice_trapped_passengers_were_glob/

but notice how the news doesn't mention the global warming part? I mean that's what is so funny...I guess the agenda trumped the joke..
