==Donation requests from Wikipedia==

Each year the [[Wikimedia Foundation]] conducts a fundraising drive to keep the webservers working on that popular liberal website. They claim the donations go to "Servers, bandwidth, maintenance, development."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://donate.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:FundraiserLandingPage&country=US&uselang=en&utm_medium=sidebar&utm_source=donate&utm_campaign=C13_en.wikipedia.org|title=Make Your Donation Now - Donate|accessdate=September 3, 2013}}</ref> Yet, in the period July - December 2012, the WMF took in $30.9 million but spent only $1.3 million on internet hosting.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/foundation/6/68/Jul-Dec%2712_Mid-year_financials2.pdf|title=Actual vs. Plan Comparison|work=Wikimedia Foundation|accessdate=September 3, 2013}}</ref> During 2012, the net worth of the WMF grew by $11 million. Yet, liberal Wikipedia users continue to donate in response to the WMF's urgent appeals.

Professor Chris Turney of the University of New South Wales, Australia<ref>http://www.christurney.com/</ref> set sail for eastern [[Antartica]] on December 8, 2013 onboard MV ''Akademik Shokalskiy'', a research vessel that was used on this expedition to study Antarctic climate change. The vessel, with 74 people (including additional scientists, journalists, and crew) became stuck in pack ice on Dec. 24, several miles from shore, approximately 100 nautical miles due east from the French research station Dumont d'Urville. By January 2, 2014, with the ice more than ten feet thick and several ice-breaking ships prevented from freeing the vessel, it was determined to evacuate all passengers by helicopter, leaving 22 crew members behind to tend ''Akademik Shokalskiy'' and hope she is freed<ref>http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/01/02/us-antarctica-ship-rescue-idUSBREA000JX20140102</ref>.

Buried in the main stream news reports about the incident are a couple key facts. First and foremost is Turney's choice to go to Antarctica in the summer months when ice sheets retreat and break apart; like the Arctic in summertime, liberals choose this season to advertise the perils of [[global warming]], despite a growing amount of evidence that the Antarctic ice sheet was expanding over the years<ref>http://www.climatedepot.com/2013/12/28/australian-climate-change-professor-chris-turney-of-u-of-new-south-wales-who-warned-about-melting-east-antarctic-remains-trapped-in-thick-ice/</ref>. And during this expedition, even after being trapped in an ice field which clearly grew, Turney insisted the ice was melting<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/12/30/stuck-in-our-own-experiment-leader-trapped-team-insists-polar-ice-is-melting/</ref>.

+

Second is the allegation that Turney may have hoped to profit from global warming and the hysteria that goes with it. Turney founded the company "Carbonscape"<ref>http://carbonscape.com/</ref><ref>http://iceagenow.info/2013/12/professor-trapped-antarctic-ice-trying-rich-agw-hysteria/</ref><ref>http://au.linkedin.com/pub/chris-turney/25/8a1/926</ref>, which creates activated carbon from waste materials, such as sawdust. Despite this, neither MV ''Akademik Shokalskiy'', nor the rescue ships, nor the helicopters and search aircraft, used anything other than normal, carbon-based diesel or other fuel to generate power.

As to MV ''Akademik Shokalskiy'', the ice sheets surrounding Antarctica have a historical reputation of crushing ice-bound vessels.
