What do you call a group of climate scientists traveling to Antarctica to find evidence of global warming? You call them wrong.
A Russian ship, called the Akademic Shokalskiy, with 52 climate researchers and scientists on board, was on an expedition to "discover and communicate the environmental changes taking place in the south," according to the expedition's leader Chris Turney, professor of climate change. In fact, they expected to see melting ice. But a funny thing happened on the way. They got stuck in ice. A lot of ice. So much so, that the group needed to get rescued from the growing levels of sea ice and blizzard conditions. And an Australian icebreaker ship couldn't do the job. It tried and failed three times. Finally, the group had to be air rescued by helicopter. But Turney still maintains that the expanded ice is a result of global warming. http://www.climatedepot.com/2014/01/01/clitantic-ship-scientists-trapped-in-ice-claim-expanding-sea-ice-caused-by-global-warming-but-data-and-studies-refute-claims/
According to the Media Research Center which tracks media bias, nearly 98% of the morning and evening network news shows, never mentioned that the mission had anything to do with climate change research. The climate scientists on board were referred to as passengers, or trackers, but no mention of global warming. So, what do you call a media who omits the fact that this expedition that got stranded in deep ice were there to research global warming? You call them biased. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mike-ciandella/2014/01/02/frozen-out-98-stories-ignore-ice-bound-ship-was-global-warming-missi
