The Telegraph goes full stupid with this headline. The craziness is that this photo essay has to be done every year, a point apparently lost on both the Telegraph and the photographer.
And one wonders, does she realize that before 2003, icebergs existed? It’s a thought of Titanic proportions.
Too bad nobody got photos in 1922.
Oh, and that famous Mawson expedition repeat, iced out. Oh, the ironing.

“the personality of each huge ice block. Above entitled ‘Overturned Iceberg [Giant Blue Snow Cone]’in Qassiaruug Greenland”
I’m betting that Mann just can’t wait to get his hands on Seaman’s upside down Snow Cone data!
If it is the last iceberg shouldn’t it be covered with doomed polar bears awaiting the End?
The UK ‘Climate Change’ minister just said on CH4 News that UK solar panel industry is ‘out of control’.
“overturned iceberg” …
does anybody has any idea what Miss (Mrs.?) Seaman might want to say by that title ?

“A lot of people look at them and get sad thinking they will disappear forever one day,” said Camille. “I don’t think that is the case (What? That they don’t get sad or the bergs won’t disappear?) and I want people to appreciate what we have right now instead of thinking about anything that we are losing.” (What? Losing icebergs? Yeah, right. Wonder how many ship Captains worry about that? Sure is something I think about everyday. /sarc)
“…Otherwise you lose track of what we are trying to preserve. (What – exactly – is that, WE are trying to preserve?) My work is an historical document that captures the poles as they have been.” (Got news for you Camille – you’ve taken some really good pictures of icebergs. You haven’t “captured” the poles.)
Camille is a great photographer. But nothing more than a “wanbee” hero of the environmental movement and just one more money grubber ripping off the poor saps that buy into the whole climate change caused by humans hoax, just the same as the guy that runs around photographing the receding glaciers around the world, including Mt. Hood. What a joke – on the masses of the world. As bad as anything anyone on “Wall Street” has ever done – or didn’t do.

I wonder what the carbon footprint is for each of her photo shoots?
People who think ice has a personality generally don’t think humans have personalities.
People who think ice is precious and fragile generally don’t think humans are precious and fragile.
It’s a reliable pattern. Love ‘humanity’, hate humans. Love ‘the Planet’, hate the world.
Beautiful pictures, but the captions the captions are so nauseating I want to puke.
If she doesn’t believe that icebergs will disappear forever, then how exactly is this The Last Iceberg?
Here is some remedial climate education:
OMG, and The Daily Telegraph is one of the more objective newspapers out there. Sad!
A warmist version…..ughhh
David Suzuki is selling Elf-Sized Hockey Sticks
Everyone knows how hard it is to adjust to life in a new town. Santa’s Elves will need to make new friends wherever they land, and the easiest way is to join the local shinny hockey game. That’s why Santa needs to stock up on elf-sized Hockey Sticks. Only 25% of the size, but 100% of the
fun.

I bought one and had it delivered to Al Gore’s office. Ha Ha Ha.
“The personality of each iceberg”
FRUITLOOP ALERT !!!
Meanwhile in the southern hemisphere, a tour icebreaker taking people to Mawson’s hut had to turn back 200kms short of its landfall because of sea ice.
I’m afraid the Telegraph lost the plot some time ago. Yes, they have Christopher Booker on Sundays and James Delingpole on a blog, but the mainstream thrust of the paper is firmly CAGW. Didn’t Vaclav Havel speak out against this nonsense recently? You would not have known from the long and detailed obituary in the Barclay Brothers’ Beano. Not a mention.

No doubt he will take full responsibility and none of the blame or punishment, the default position of all contemporary government bureaucrats including presidents.

No please. It’s Vaclav Klaus, who is still alive and kicking.
However – ALERT folks – Amazon UK has NO mention of Klaus’ book Blue Planet in Green Shackes – at least not in English though Amazon UK have it in German, Italian, Spanish, Czech, Polish, French and Dutch.
WUWT?? Is Amazon UK also part of the Inquisitional Index, along with Grauniad, BBC etc?
When The Telegraph has its “Last Headline” we will no longer have to put up with this kind of journalistic drivel & nonsense.

She is just a fount of wisdom and priceless one-liners:
“Every iceberg I have photographed no longer exists,” explained Camille…
Yep, I have that problem photographing clouds, too… 🙂
“A lot of people look at them and get sad thinking they will disappear forever one day,” said Camille
Very few people actually ever see a real iceberg. They’re not in a very populated part of the world. And a fair number that see them regularly probably would like them gone, since they are a major issue for sailors.
The greenies have the world upside down entirely. Who cares if poley bears die out, really? Or there are less icebergs? What matters is the environment outside our doors. We need to all fight to preserve our local environments, and leave other people to fight for theirs.
(BTW Camille, there is nothing intrinsically beautiful about a bit of ice floating in water. We are being conned into pretending that they are a majestic piece of the world, when they are just large lumps of ice floating in cold water. Despite what you think, they don’t “stand” for anything other than an inhospitable climate.)
Typical environmentalist, she has killed those icebergs with kindness.

Don’t know about Amazon UK (Amazon.com appears not to be) but I know most travel guide books are.
Lonely Planet always have a segment about Climate Change and how air travel is “the fastest growing contributor to the problem” and that is why they support carbon offset programmes.
Moon Handbooks go even further. Their handbook on Tahiti (Sixth Edition) has a long alarming section on climate change stating that:
“the gravest danger facing the atolls of Oceania is the greenhouse effect… due to fossil fuels.”
“A 1982 study demonstrated that sea levels had already risen 12 cms in the previous century and that over the next century air temperature may rise 5 deg C and sea levels could go up 95 cms by 2100.”
“Increasing temperatures may already be contributing to the dramatic jump in the number of hurricanes in the South Pacific.”
“ by 2080 the water temperature may have increased 5 deg C effective bleaching and killing all of the regions reefs.”
“As storm waves wash across the low lying atolls eating away the precious land the entire populations of archipelagos such as Tuamotus and Northern Cooks may be forced to gradually evacuate long before they are actually flooded.”
“Unfortunately those responsible for the problem, the industrialised countries led by the United States (and including Australia) have long resisted taking action to significantly cut greenhouse gases..”
Etc, Etc.
I emailed Moon Handbooksquestioning how they could make such outlandish statements in a travel book without providing more positive evidence. I received a curt reply telling me that this was the state of the overwhelming majority of scientific opinion.
Wonder what the “overwhelming majority of scientific opinion” will be in 2050 and what
Moon Handbooks will be saying and whether by then Amazon UK will still be on the “Inquisitional Index”.
Lucy,
I bought Blue Planet in Green Shackles by Vaclav Klaus twice from amazon.com in the US.
The fact that it doesn’t appear in English on the British Amazon site is, indeed, telling something.
