“Whisky on (Antarctic) ice: Ernest Shackleton…left a stash at the bottom of the world.
CAPE ROYDS, Antarctica — This spit of black volcanic rock that juts out along the coast of Antarctica is an inhospitable place. Temperatures drop below –50 Fahrenheit and high winds cause blinding snowstorms…
But if you happen upon the small wooden hut that sits at Cape Royds and wriggled yourself underneath, you’d find a surprise stashed in the foot and a half of space beneath the floorboards. Tucked in the shadows and frozen to the ground are two cases of Scotch whisky left behind 100 years ago by Sir Ernest Shackleton after a failed attempt at the South Pole.
Conservators discovered the wooden cases in January 2006. They were unable to dislodge the crates, but are going in with special tools in January during the Antarctic summer to try to retrieve them. An international treaty dictates that the crates, and any intact bottles that are inside, remain in Antarctica unless they need to be taken off the continent for conservation reasons. The whisky’s condition after a century of freezing and thawing is unknown…
Shackleton turned around 97 miles short of his destination, telling his wife, “I thought you’d rather have a live donkey than a dead lion.” When the ship arrived in 1909 to pick the men up, they left their supplies behind in their hut, including reindeer sleeping bags, tins of boiled mutton and bottled gooseberries. And, as we now know, they also abandoned two cases of Charles Mackinlay & Co. whisky.

Well obviously if the earth heats up enough, any hot air balloons in the sky will no longer be hot and will fall to the ground.
Not that I am aware of any climate scientists or even politicians predicting this amount of heating.

Andrew Neil Q: … If we only have 50 days to save the world.. we’re being told the world is coming to an end unless we make major changes to our lifestyles …What can the people here in Brittan see around them that has really changed?
Hilary Benn: Well they can see the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has gone up…. and if you go back over four hundred thousand years …
What a laugh! Repent ye the end of the world is nigh! Earlier it was you have sinned because you have committed adultery now you have sinned because you have light and heat in your house and a car or two.
Andrew Neil Q: Michael Mansfield is it credible for a Govt to make apocalyptic warnings to say that we have 50 days to save the world yet build a 3rd runway at Heathrow?
Michael Mansfield (the Luddite): Oh I think that is quite inconsistent I quite agree with that but I would like to answer your two questions: How does the British public know that things have changed? Very simple – Have we all forgotten what happened about 2 to 3 years ago? There was MASSIVE FLOODING! It nearly reached Windsor! I mean I went out and bought an inflatable boat…
Lol – the worst floods since 1952. These floods were in the summer of 2007 when Hillary Ben had just finished telling us that winter rains will increase and there will be drought in summer due to Global warming.
“All lands not submerged beneath the inexorably-rising waves will bake and wither under permanent year-round drought. Yea, and the very same lands will smother and drown under permanent year-round floods. And plagues of locusts. And pestilences. And famines. And brimstone and fire. And boils and pustules, yea, verily, and other things that pullulate and fester and sound nasty enough to get big headlines and bigger research grants.”
From Lord Monckton’s famous speech “Great is Truth, and mighty above all things”

This is a speech worthy of reading and re-reading.
Just passing,
Thanks for that link to Andrew Neil – I was unable to find it on the BBC website. Who was that moron on at the end, going on about pollution and people being ill everywhere in Britain. He made Hilary sound like a moderate.
Richard,
“This [Lord Monckton’s] is a speech worthy of reading and re-reading.”
I second that. He certainly doesn’t pull any punches – it is a real fire-in-the-belly rallying cry.
