Awesome.

Good riddance.

What's your issue with shells?

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

The UN's IPCC predicted that we wont have beaches for shells when the sea level rises unless we sinners repent for causing global warming.

It's true.

It will be proven in the next, um , 375 years from now.

Some missionaries putting faith in beliefs and predictions just got themselves all messed up and stuck in the middle of an ice field in summer around Antarctica and can't get out.

The expedition to gauge the effects of climate change on the region began November 27

Dear pro-science people:

We have things called satellites with imaging. We have meteorologists and the like who make a living by saying "Hey - there's 3 meter thick ice out there where you are wanting to go."

There is also something about science called "observation." I have long mentioned that in climate science, observation of the present can be compared to expectations by looking out the window. Likewise, no matter how strong your belief is that sea ice has disappeared due to climate change and that whatever sea ice IS there isthin and rotten, look out the damned window and use your collective scientific training to do an assessment and take some measurements. Then take some positive leadership to communicate with the ship's crew that, "Trust us. We do this ice shit for a living and you're going to get into a place you won't be able to get out of for months, if not years, assuming your vessel survives." An icebreaker sent to rescue them fucking got stuck because the ice is too thick.

I seriously have to scratch my head and ask, "What the hell are these experts thinking?" One idea I have is, "The ice can't be there. No way. Because we've said that it won't. And don't be fooled by that ice you see - it's thin and the Koch brothers have swindled everyone."

What's the next bright idea? "Let's go to Siberia. No, no. Just windbreakers and sweaters. It's warmed up a lot there."
