#1 Perhaps they could return next year at the same time when there won't be as much ice due to all the gerbil worming?

#2 I also pointed out that the Australian scientists on-board were climatologists, and not operational weather forecasters, and finding this sort of weather data probably wasnt in their skill set.

But I bet they could get a grant to study the problem.

#3 there's a lot of "MV Donner Pass" type jokes going around.

Too bad that they will not be left to a suitable, if ironic ending.

#4 At first skim, I don't believe a word of it, but I think that's gotta be my feelgood story of [checks dateline] 2013. Sheer genius. The folks Coleman bugs will be losing their minds. Fun fun fun.

Good one!

But after the snarkery and humor, what I like about this story is that rather than gloating over the misfortune or mocking the warmist's children in the current leftist style, Watts & company spring into action to try and rustle up some forecasting data to help people whose agenda they adamantly oppose and who, given the current climate (ahem) of the warming debate seem unlikely to act in kind.
