(Punta Arenas, Chile) Famed global warming activist James Schneider and a journalist friend were both found frozen to death on Saturday, about 90 miles from South Pole Station, by the pilot of a ski plane practicing emergency evacuation procedures.

"I couldn't believe what I was seeing", recounted the pilot, Jimmy Dolittle. "There were two snowmobiles with cargo sleds, a tent, and a bright orange rope that had been laid out on the ice, forming the words, 'HELP-COLD'".

One friend of Prof. Schneider told ecoEnquirer that he had been planning a trip to an ice sheet to film the devastation brought on by global warming. His wife, Linda, said that she had heard him discussing the trip with his environmental activist friends, but she assumed that he was talking about the Greenland ice sheet, a much smaller ice sheet than Antarctica.

"He kept talking about when they 'get down to chili', and I thought they were talking about the order in which they would consume their food supplies", Mrs. Schneider recounted. "I had no idea they were talking about Chile, the country from which you usually fly or sail in order to reach Antarctica".

Apparently, while all of Prof. Schneider's friends were assuming that the July trek would be to Greenland, during Northern Hemisphere summer, his plans were actually to snowmobile to the South Pole - which, in July, is in the dead of winter.
Mr. Dolittle related how some people do not realize that, even if there has been warming in Antarctica, the average temperature at the South Pole in July still runs about 70 degrees F below zero. "Some people think that July is warm everywhere on Earth."

His wife apparently isn't the sharpest tool in the shed....

That damned pesky Southern Hemisphere, what with it's seasons all flipped around and such. That can fool even the smartest man....

Northern bias.

Rather than utilizing scientific data gathered from existing Antartic research stations to "prove" a theory (which btw, is currently contradicting GW theory), this yokel runs out into mid-winter Antartic with a camera to "film" the alleged "effects" of so-called GW.

How many times have we watched commericals, or pseudo-documentaries about the environment and the purported claims of GW harm, while an image of glacial melt water streams through crevasses or down sinkholes while a narrator reads alarmist propoganda?

This was just another propogandist attempt gone awry.



Karma.

Guess he forgot it gets colder as he approaches the bottom of the bowl.







BTW...Google had NOTHING on this under "James Schnieder", "GW Activist Freezes" or "GW Activist Found Dead".

Perhaps he wasn't all that famed?

And in other news, the Inland Northwest had one of the warmest winters on record, indicating nothing other than the difference between climate and weather.

And in other news, most of the United States had their coldest winters (and record snowfalls), indicating nothing. Just like your fact.

I know, that's what's so humurous about it. Please try to keep up.

I'm laughing at you, not with you. Try and keep up.
