Global Warming Activist, Journalist, Perish in Antarctica

Quote
(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.

If he didn't have any kids, he should be a Darwin Award nominee.

Reminds me of the Grizzly guy who got ate by the loveable bears.

There may be no cure for stupid, but at least death makes it shut up.

Liberalism isn't in and of itself fatal.  It's Darwin that executes natural selection with ruthless efficiency.  The fact is, being infected with liberalism simply makes you more susceptable to the chlorinator in the gene pool.   :-)

In other news today, Ricky Martin has come out of the closet and is writing an autobiography.

Seriously, who would waste their time reading that?
