| Not enough Global Warming, stranded ship's crew to be choppered out |
| 2014-01-01 |
They went in search evidence of the worldÂ’s melting ice caps, but instead a team of climate scientists have been forced to abandon their mission Â… because the Antarctic ice is thicker than usual at this time of year.
Hey, that's not supposed to happen...
The scientists have been stuck aboard the stricken MV Akademik Schokalskiy since Christmas Day, with repeated sea rescue attempts being abandoned as icebreaking ships failed to reach them.
Seeing any Global Warming yet?
Ummmmmm...nope.
Now that effort has been ditched, with experts admitting the ice is just too thick. Instead the crew have built an icy helipad, with plans afoot to rescue the 74-strong team by helicopter.
Do they have the carbon credits to permit this? |
