Fifty-two people, a mix of tourists and scientists who went to the Antarctic to study the effects of Global Warming, had to be rescued by helicopter when their ship got stuck in the ice. The first two Ice Breaker vessels sent down to help also got stuck, and now there is a US ice breaker on the way to try and help them get free.
Meanwhile, here in the US, forecasts are calling for record-breaking lows over much of the country over the next few days. At the Boggy Thicket this morning’s low was 62° at 7:00 a.m., but that may also be the high temperature for the day. Winds are expected to shift to the north later this morning, and the forecast low for tomorrow is 20°.
That whole Global Warming thing is complicated, isn’t it?
