Australian global warming Prof. Chris Turney stuck in Antarctic ice was beamed to the world from Times Square on New Years Eve, plans to 'definitely' spew CO2 next New Years Eve by traveling from Australia to New York City's Times Square

"Definitely heading there next year!" says Australian global warming expedition leader Chris Turney in a tweet on New Years Eve after appearing on CNN's 12/31/13 Times Square broadcast while trapped in Antarctic ice:

1/2/14, "Terence Corcoran: Science of climate change not on the same course as reality," Financial Post

"Aboard the MV Akademik Shokalskiy, a research vessel hunting for evidence of climate change in the world’s coldest polar extremity, Prof. Turney demonstrated his unflagging media skills by turning adversity into an opportunity.

On New Year’s Eve, he tweeted: “Just broadcast live to Times Square, to celebrate New Year with @AC360. Great fun! Definitely heading there next year!”



Thanks to the miracle of modern technology, Prof. Turney was indeed live on CNN New Year’s Eve. Video of festivities aboard the Shokalskiy, where the bar was mostly open, was seen round the world. Fortunately, Prof. Turney was not asked to explain how a global climate expert found himself and 51 other passengers — including numerous scientists — trapped near the South Pole in thick icebreaker-proof ice in desperate need of rescue. And rescued they were, ironically by a tandem of carbon-burning Australian and Chinese ships and helicopters. All scientists and passengers — including reporters from the BBC and The Guardian — were airlifted by a Chinese helicopter from the Akademik Shokalskiy and transported to an ice floe near an Australian icebreaker, which then transported them to a warmer, safer place."...

On New Year's Eve, CNN's Anderson Cooper and comedian Kathy Griffin spoke to the tweeting trio live from Time Square in New York. The three men huddled in a tent on the ship's upper deck and spoke to the hosts via Skype."...
