Big global warming meeting in Canada

Yeah, Mawson was hardcore - lost two of his team in the name of science. Eejit. *




(*) This was meant ironically, apparently I need to spell this out for some readers.

No, you just need to delete the post. Eejit.

eh ?????

if Mawson was so rubbish, why would the eco-loonies have a trip called 'the spirit of Mawson' ???



you are tying yourself up in knots now.

The thing with polls is that the results are very heavily dependent on how you ask or phrase the question and how the results are then interpreted.
The old lies, damn lies and statistics line pops into mind every time I see someone post polling results, even more-so when you consider all of the scandals that have arisen from the warmist lobby many of whom have a financial axe to grind by perpetuating the AGW beliefs.

No, I am agreeing with you, in an ironic post-normal science kinda way. From what I've read, Dawson would probably have insisted that they walk over the ice back to base camp, using the more portly team members as a food source. Apparently Husky Dog liver has toxic levels of vitamin A, which causes delirium and probably caused the death of one of Mawson's fellow explorers. Spirit of Mawson, sure, but in moderation.

While we're on contradictions.... what makes Mawson a heroic, pioneering scientific explorer and these guys mere party going eco-loons?

Because in the words of the wise Yoda (did you know his surname was Maggio?): "This is not the climate change they were looking for"

you seem to be agreeing with me more and more lately pj.

maybe there is hope for you yet

Why do I call them eejits ?

Years and years ago, when I were a lad, we had the Soviet Union and the Berlin wall.
We had socialist workers, Trots and all sorts.

There was a real fear that the world would end in a nuclear fireball, and we had a real enemy, albeit in a cold war.

When the Berlin wall came down, we discovered what the Soviets thought of our socialists and trots. our 'enemy within'

They called them 'useful Idiots'

The same people are still here, but the Berlin wall has come down so they are no longer useful.

Rather than call them 'useless idiots' I use the shorthand 'eejits'

A girl who goes up Snowdon with stiletto heels on, who gets stuck halfway up and needs mountain rescue to get her off and drinks champagne while she's waiting is...

1) An adventurer comparable with Schackleton
2) An empty headed tart

Unbelieveable

now the rescue ship with the passengers on board is nearly stuck. slowed down to a quarter of a knot at the moment.
Still, at least it is an icebreaker, so it has a chance.



waiting for Ant and Dec to start their new show

I'M A CLIMATE SCIENTIST - GET ME OUTTA HERE
