Famed Global Warming Activist Found Frozen Stiff in Antarctica (Update-Spoof)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, March 29, 2010, 12:03 PM
Famed global warming activist James Schneider and a friend were found frozen solid in Antarctica this week.
His last recorded words– “HELP COLD!”
The EcoEnquirer reported, via FOX Nation
Famed global warming activist James Schneider and a journalist friend were both found frozen to death on Saturday, about 90 miles from South Pole Station, by the pilot of a ski plane practicing emergency evacuation procedures.
“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing”, recounted the pilot, Jimmy Dolittle. “There were two snowmobiles with cargo sleds, a tent, and a bright orange rope that had been laid out on the ice, forming the words, ‘HELP-COLD’.”
One friend of Prof. Schneider told ecoEnquirer that he had been planning a trip to an ice sheet to film the devastation brought on by global warming. His wife, Linda, said that she had heard him discussing the trip with his environmental activist friends, but she assumed that he was talking about the Greenland ice sheet, a much smaller ice sheet than Antarctica.
“He kept talking about when they ‘get down to chili’, and I thought they were talking about the order in which they would consume their food supplies”, Mrs. Schneider recounted. “I had no idea they were talking about Chile, the country from which you usually fly or sail in order to reach Antarctica.”
Apparently, while all of Prof. Schneider’s friends were assuming that the July trek would be to Greenland, during Northern Hemisphere summer, his plans were actually to snowmobile to the South Pole – which, in July, is in the dead of winter.

I see Mr. and Mrs. Schneider are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

He died so AlGore could thrive and prosper

Gee…you mean it’s cold in the Antarctic? Who knew?

I certainly don’t relish in his death and am sorry he passed but, come on…these Einsteins need to be culled from the herd.

This is a hoax.

Ironic.

This story is fiction!!!
EcoEnquirer is a satire site!!!!
Joanne commented:
Idiots. Even global warming in the Antarctica would still make it too bloody cold.
AJ Lynch commented:
Jimmy Dolittle was the clue that told me this is an Onion type joke.
Dave G commented:
Old spoof story circa 2008. Humorous in its irony, but not true. Sorry.
JimmyD commented:
I don’t believe this one–sounds like a plant to see how many people pick up the story: Pilot “Jimmy Dolittle”—what is this? A re-make of Thirty Seconds Over McMurdo

Well… I suppose mission accomplished.
zmdavid commented:
EcoEnquirer is a great site, but its a spoof, and they stopped putting out new stuff quite a while ago.
IMO here is their funniest piece:

Oh god. Now we’re going to hear from lefties how Fox isn’t journalistic since they didn’t realize this was satire…
The biggest clue is they died this week, yet the story is referencing a July trip.
Harold commented:
Got to be satire.
AuntieMadder commented:
I’m glad this is satire. Otherwise, I’d have to feel guilty for laughing about it.
oldguy commented:
One thing you never want to happen is to have people laugh at your death.
Douglas commented:
has to be the most obsurd thing I’ve read in a while, but “High flying simulated-lesbian politics” is pretty good competition.
What is it with today.
Also, It’s a tragic Irony, with addition nation/food irony included.
Random thing, I get asked (because I don’t take care of myself well) how I want to be buried, and I say “I want to be the secret ingredient on iron chef, though morimoto will be disappointed since he won’t be able to use my liver.”
Just cuz I can laugh about my death doesn’t mean I wish it upon myself, just as I can laugh about this guys death, though I wouldn’t wish it on him.

Posted your April 1st story a little early, didn’t you?
Marsh commented:
Sad to hear. But this and other incidents like that family in Argentina that killed themselves over global warming kind of sums up my experience on the left. They’re quite radical and deranged and their general hysteria is driving our entire country off a cliff.
liamascorcaigh commented:
The chilli/Chile pun is a dead *ahem* giveaway.
newton commented:
Please, please let this be fiction… Let this be an April Fools’ Joke!
No one in his right mind would go camp in Antarctica in the dead of winter!

This sounds like that woman who stayed in trees to save them then she fell out of one and died… i remember Rush telling that one years ago… What a shame!
squeaky commented:
if you think back just over a year ago to the evironmentalist who were stranded on their 85 day hike to measure ice. the plane sent to rescue them was not particularly environment friendly.

Yup. That’s the clue that told me it was satire.
USMC Thomas commented:
Was laughing until I realized tomorrow is April 1. Of course, the libturds won’t see the humor.
drjohn commented:
It’s hilarious no matter what.
drjohn commented:
“Was laughing until I realized tomorrow is April 1.”
Say what?
Another joke, I hope.
Think4Yourself commented:
It’s a bogus story from a spoof “news” site, but it’s being reported as fact here and at Fox Nation. Does that say anything about the trustworthiness of the sites?
Elly commented:
I once knew of an H2O delivery driver who ended up in the hospital with severe dehydration… >.>
Elly commented:
LOL @ Think4Yourself… That’s quite a name, miss serious sally.
Irony is abundant today -.o

It isn’t like people aren’t dumb enough to do such a thing.
USMC Thomas commented:
“Was laughing until I realized tomorrow is April 1.”
Sorry, brain fart, for some reason I thought today was the 31.
Winston commented:
Made me laugh though
wanumba commented:
I needed a laugh. Put it next to the account of the Brit who took his daughter to the Arctic to bring attention to global warming devastation – and they had to be rescued.
– and try to figure out which is the spoof and which isn’t.

I never thought of it that way, but you’re right. If I can laugh about my own death, why can’t I laugh about others since I don’t wish for mine or theirs?
By the way, I have no prediction of how I’ll die, but I bet my last words will be, “Oh, sh!t!”
PS: Take better care of yourself, dunderhead.
