I was tickled pink
to read about the trip to the Antarctic by a team of ‘climate change’
scientists and ‘green’ activists from Australia, dedicated to proving that the Antarctic
ice shelf was ‘melting and collapsing due to global warming’.
Far from proving their
pet theory, their Russian ship became wedged in thick ice, at a time when it
was high summer in Antarctica when the ice should have been at a minimum
level.
So thick was this ‘melting
and collapsing’ ice shelf that two ice breakers were unable to free their ship
and the team of ‘experts’ had to be rescued by helicopter.
Not that this
debacle did anything to change the teams pre-conceived ideas, a spokesman
claiming that “it is precisely climate warming that led the vessel into its
awkward predicament”.
Yes you read that
right, global warming which was causing the ‘melting and collapsing’ of the Antarctic
ice was responsible for ice so thick two ice breakers could not free the stuck
ship.
George Orwell, in his
seminal novel 1984, coined the term ‘double think’ for the capacity to simultaneously hold two mutually contradictory beliefs and accept
them both as being correct.
He had nothing on the disciples of ‘global warming’.
