10,000 Kauri trees to plant.

Now talking about freezing rain we are getting in these here parts today, of course you know about the co2 alarmist who got themselves stuck in the melted ice in the anartic? In any case they abandon their ship and crew and were helicoptered to another icebreaker, but lo and behold the ice that has all melted has trapped that ship, the Snow Dragon, too. Now I hear that a US Coastguard's Polar Star icebreaker is sailing that way to help free the Snow Dragon.

What you have not probable heard about is that the one who organized this stunt had promised to plant about 800 Kauri trees in Northland to cover its carbon footprint of all the diesel burnt to sail their ship down into the coldest part of the world to prove that the ice was all melting and we were never to have any more show in there here parts (that would not break my heart) if we did not stop putting so much co2 into the air. 

Expedition leader Chris Turney said more trees would be needed than earlier estimated but he was yet to work out how many. I wonder where they are going to get the 10,000 Kauri trees to plant.
