#2 probably very few of the people claiming to be scientists are actually scientist

what's the hypothesis that they are testing?

seems the hypothesis is that quasi ramdom measurements can be used to promote whatever theory they want to promote

#3 "Sea ice is disappearing due to climate change, but here ice is building up," the Australasian Antarctic Expedition said in a statement.

We've seen this kinda thought process in other regions. You gotta be able to hold 3 completely stupid and conflicting thoughts in your head at the same time.

#5 Leave them until they , Decide Dammit.make up their minds, "The Ice is melting,"" The ice is not melting", Decide Dammit.

They've said the ice is melting, OK leave them there and they can sail out.

#6 His data is old. For the past year, world sea ice has been holding at the 35 year average, and in the last couple of months has trended above the average.

As for the Antarctic, almost all of the ice melts there every summer, providing spectacular pictures to fuel the warmist cause. But the average amount of Antarctic ice has been increasing for decades, offsetting the loss of Arctic ice.

These guys managed to get caught in thick multi-year ice, despite plenty of information regarding its whereabouts. It remains to be seen if the ship is recoverable. Ice down there will be increasing again by mid-February.

$10 says one of the passengers was hoping to catch a picture of a trapped polar bear.

#10 Sometimes it really does seem like God is sending these people a message and they continue to refuse to listen. Eventually he may change tactics. We'll know this happens when Al Gore is struck by lightning every time he walks outside.

#11 Brick, that'll happen only once...

However, once will be enough.

#12 LATEST = looks like China is sending Helos to rescue 'em.

Time to see iff Chinese airpower can do what Chinese + Russian maritime could not.

#13  He remained adamant that sea ice is melting, even as the boat remained trapped in frozen seas

The same people on the boat not only refuse to see what is in front of their face, they have the arrogance to look down on fundamentalist Christians who believe in creationism in the face of their (faith based) 'science'. Look in the mirror boys.

#14 Strong crossover between climate alarmists and economic creationism.

#15 #11 Brick, that'll happen only once...

However, once will be enough.

Some people have been known to survive multiple lightning strikes. And think of how amusing it would be for it to happen again and again and again. Sort of like counting hanging chads;P

#16 Supposed to have the butt as the highest point for contact, for which Mr. Gore has a natural posture.

#17 Even Mother Nature has nothing but contempt for those idiots. Too bad they weren't eaten by leopard seals.
