Chris Hayes: Why These Heartless Right-Wingers Are Laughing At the Plight of Those Brave Climate Researchers Who Risked Their Lives to Save the World!
— Ace

There's an old rule in lawyering:

When the facts are on your side, pound the facts.

When the law is on your side, pound the law.

When neither are on your side, pound the table.

Meaning, of course: When your argument is weak you have to turn the proceedings into a carnival, introducing a ton of irrelevant, tendentious claims to confuse the jury.

When a dolt like Chris Hayes has the worst side of an argument, as he frequently does, he resorts to emotional histrionics.

Let's note that no one on the right was cheerleading for the deaths of the "global warming" scientists. In fact, despite Chris Hayes' dishonest attempts to cast the "global warming" scientists as in the clutches of icy death -- and so more heartless were the right for finding mirth in their predicament -- virtually every news story stressed the fact that the team was in no imminent danger whatsoever.

Apparently unlike Chris Hayes, I bothered to read several stories about this incident, and every one of them I read included a paragraph just like this one:

The 22 crew members of the Akademik Shokalskiy stayed with the icebound vessel, which is not in any danger and has enough supplies on board to last for weeks. They will wait until the ice surrounding the ship breaks up, which could take several weeks, ASMA Emergency Response Division manager John Young said.

They were not in peril. They were merely inconvenienced. At worse, they'd be icebound until the ice broke up of its own accord; their own supplies might last that long, but if it got too close for comfort, they could have additional supplies ferried in by helicopter.

Hayes' fancies himself a truth-telling intellectual, but his entire screed is predicated upon a series of lies: 1, that the right was laughing at the plight of the scientists, 2, that there was any plight to laugh at all, and 3, that Obama's birth certificate is real.

I just thought I'd mention that last one to bother him.

And far from making an intellectual case as to why colder weather and thickening ice do not undermine the case for "global warming" (hint: cold is the opposite of warm), he resorts to ridiculous ginned-up nonsense nonsequiturs about people not caring enough for twenty two strangers in no imminent danger who they never heard of before three days ago.

To the extent Chris Hayes has any argument here at all, it is this: These "global warming" scientists are good people are are well meaning and only want to save the world, is all. Therefore, it is evil to say that their theories are wrong.

Which, come to think of it, is pretty much the only arrow in the progressives' argumentative quiver.

19 I didn't realize I was supposed to feel sorry for people who went down to the Antarctic without knowing what the heck they were doing. From what I've read, even the crew of the Russian ship do not sound like people who know how to cope with the conditions, and they seem to have made their own predicament worse by their actions.

The slowing and ending of the Antarctic melt season will come soon.

If they rely only on waiting, it might be the better part of a year before they get that ship out, next melt season. If its hull isn't crushed like a beer can by the thickening ice.

Putin, however, does not do "waiting". He has sent one of the BIG Russian icebreakers south. Double public relations win for him. He can rescue a Russian vessel _and_ a Chinese one at the same time.

Are you sure that's factual?

The Gore claim I recall was from 2008, not 2007, and it was "within five years".

I know this because I carefully marked my calendar for 2013, on the very day in 2008 I heard Gore on the news saying that.

A small but significant fact-checking action which, by the way, every last single member of the media failed to perform. No "professional journalists" called out Gore on his bullshit. Not a one.

80 I mentioned to someone earlier today that as amusing as this is, and it is, oh, it is, I am not at all amused by these blithering idiots forcing other people to put themselves at risk to save them. The first ship had to turn back due to danger and now the second ship may be iced in as well. Yes, the danger might not be imminent but it is danger. Not to mention that helicopters are very nearly always safe but only very nearly always. I feel about this the same way I do about people who do idiotic things in the wilderness and who must be rescued. How dare you decide that your thrill is worth someone else's life? I'm not talking about people who know what they're doing who suffer an injury and need to be rescued. That happens, unfortunately. I'm talking about these dolts who wander off in Big Sur with open toed sandals and a bottle of water and hey nature is groovy man and where's the trail and night is falling and oh crap Blessed Mother Gaia is going to kill me if those nice people don't get me out first. Yeah, you know what? I am going to mock you and I am going to take the bears' side on the whole do you deserve to be a bear treat issue. Same with this. You went to Antarctica to study ice and managed to get yourself trapped due to hubris and Skittle shitting unicorns but mainly hubris. You deserve to be mocked. You must be mocked pour encourager les autres. That those in charge sold this as scientific tourism and managed to get presumably unqualified people to tag along to fund the trip is another layer to the stupid. How dare you risk their lives? Do you not comprehend that you owe those whom you dragged along a measure of concern for their safety? So, yeah, I am going to mock. It should be mocked. I'll let Heinlein sum up the tl;dr: Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.

2) they are likely to have a bodycount for their frippery

3) these same assholes think they can run the global economy because #caring

4) the media refuses to report the facts in the region there is more ice extant than the voyage from a century ago they are "retracing" and the same id quickly developing on the other pole.

Posted by: Beagle at January 03, 2014 11:33 AM (sOtz/)

173 Okay, OT but the other thread is dead. There was some question in the OCare thread about how your Deductible, Coinsurance, Out-of-Pocket Maximum, and Insurance Allowable Amounts work. Herein, I will attempt to explain. First, a Deductible must be met before the insurance company pays one red cent for your medical care (copayments excepted, but those don't seem to be involved with OCare). Your Coinsurance is the percentage breakdown of what you pay vs what the insurance company pays AFTER the deductible is met. Your Out-of-Pocket maximum is the combined amount (Deductible + coinsurance dollars) you will spend before the insurance company is required to pick up 100% of the tab. The Insurance Allowable Amount is the amount the insurance company says a doctor can charge for a given service. This is the number they use to calculate your deductible and coinsurance. Out-of-network doctors can charge you over that amount (called "balance billing"), In-network providers cannot. So, for someone with a $5,500 deductible. If they went to get an x-ray, the insurance company would apply the full allowable amount (probably $250 or less) to the deductible. If the hospital was in-network, they could only charge $250, and that would be the amount the patient had to pay. If the patient ever met that $5,500 deductible (unlikely if you're even in moderately good health), THEN future services would pay at the co-insurance rate (80/20 means your insurance pays 80% of allowable, and you're responsible for 20%). Every dollar you pay in coinsurance accumulates to your Out-of-Pocket maximum. Once your Out-of-Pocket max has been met, the insurance company pays 100% of medical bills. And it all resets based on plan-year (usually January 1). So if you'd met $5,499 as of Dec 31, all (well, probably most- but that's even more complicated) of that goes away Jan 1, and you have to meet it all again.

As usual, the left has become what they claimed we are, deniers of the facts.

Oh I laughed. I'm still laughing. But it was only funny because there was no real danger. If there was danger. I'd wait for them to be saved...Then laugh at them. I've had a few harrowing moments at sea before, I know what that is like. Being stuck in ice with plenty of supplies and a rescue helicopter on speed dial doesn't qualify.

302 One of the warmist theories is that when glaciers and ice caps melt, they lower the water temperature and CREATE MORE sea ice.  So just as we see with many Climate Change empirical observations... EVERYTHING can be explained by global warming climate change. 

If there is less ice, then that's because of global warming

If there is MOAR ice, then that too is because of global warming.

Have they ever been pinned down to what would disprove global warming ?  They are 'scientists'.. surely they know about a null hypothesis ?

Hang on. What's the hottest month in the Northern hemisphere? August, usually, right? So, in the Southern Hemisphere, it will continue to get hotter until maybe late February. There is quite a lag between the longest day at the solstice, and the hottest period of the summer. Probably at least a month worth of melting yet to happen.

AOP I'd put it at 14-21 days max of sustained climbing temps that hold long enough to make it break....

getting all those days is very subject to the winds and weather.

362 They sort of vacillate between two extremes on MSNBC: screeching hysteria or abject whinging.

363 When a dolt like Chris Hayes has the worst side of an argument, as he frequently does, he resorts to emotional histrionics. To be fair, Chris Hayes probably resorts to emotional histrionics when he orders lunch.

I have no ill will toward climate do-gooders.  Their media running dogs on the other hand, I hope to see spend their golden years living in an appliance crate, cold, hungry, and alone.

365 Chris Hayes: Why These Heartless Right-Wingers Are Laughing At the Plight of Those Brave Climate Researchers Who Risked Their Lives to Save the World! Damn straight, Skippy. This was the funniest news story of 2013, hands down. And it ain't over yet.

366 I was laughing my ass off and making fun of them at every opportunity and will continue to do so.  I laughed at the self absorbed UK Guardian producer wanting his Mommy (unfortunately the You Tube video was removed.) I laughed when the Turkey that put this thing together claimed that antarctic sea ice is "disappearing" even after the were trapped in it and despite massive piles of  evidence to the contrary. .  And I laughed when it became evident that the ship got stuck in the first place most likely because when they were out on the ice it took them many hours to respond to the captains orders to get back aboard.    And now I'm laughing because the  bone heads are still stuck there as the Australian ice breaker stands by because the Chinese one is stuck. 

But what I'm not laughing about is that real science being done by real scientists elsewhere on the continent that actually are there for research and observation over the long haul is not going to get done because of the diversion of those two ships from their primary tasks. Diverted to save people that claim they got "real science" done in a few days. 

 BTW when the helicopter came in to pick up the bone heads it brought supplies to supplement what the crew already had. Helicopter lands, supplies taken off, a load of bone heads get on.

367 and to top it off, (in case it hasn't been mentioned yet) it's SUMMER in Antarctica!

370 Well at least Casey base will finally get all of it's supplies and scientific instruments.  I guess they figure the Snow Dragon can take care of  it's self until either the ice shifts and allows the ship to free its self or the heavier ice breaker  USCG Polar Star arrives in a few days.

I await the arrival of Aurora Australis at Hobart because I would not  be surprised to see a scene of the bone heads and their fearless leader acting like they are some kind of heros when they disembark. IOW I anticipate there just may be another good laugh coming.  But I am probably expecting too much since this fiasco has pretty much been such a hoot already.

371 " 1, that the right was laughing at the plight of the scientists"

I was.  Heh.  Still laughing.

372 I laughed at them and their plight. I'm still laughing at them.

373 Hey, I'm a righty who was/is laughing my ass off at these cretins, dolts, and posers. I guess I didn't want them killed, but a few fingers and toes lost to frostbite...that would be a hoot! and the ship is in some potential danger; shifting ice could cause a major hull breach, sinking same.

374 It is necessary to freeze them to death so they can die for their cause.

375 Well  along those lines Steve Goddard at Climate Depot  has an urgent request for all Midwest and  Eastern Progressives.

"With record cold coming, it is imperative that climate lovers do not use any fossil fuels or burning wood to keep warm. Climate experts tell us these fuels cause life-threatening warming."

________________________________________________

My friends and I agree that all progressives should go all step outside about 01:00 Monday morning and get naked and take a cold shower to show their support for Climate Change initiatives. Don't know if that would help the climate or not but I'm pretty sure it would do the environment the rest of us live in some good.

I understand the ship is Soviet.  I see no problem, communists are used to doing nothing.  They will be right at home.  Long, long periods of doing nothing.

Of some note:

Obama, Lt. for life John F. Kerry,  bad computer code Michael Mann all had better be on the look out , they may end up "Iceboated" by facts and truth.

trade mark of "Iceboated" by poster taxfreekiller on here and under other unknown nicks on other blogs.

Lt. for Life John F. Kerry is the worst thing to ever happen to the Climate Change Fraud gangs work, he is such a bad liar he will end their little tax payer funded life due to the total fail he always is, "go Kerry, wreck it like you do so well",

thanks
