In 2012 almost a billion dollars a day was spent on the idea of man-caused global warming. Much more could be "UNLOCKED" if politicians ("the rich world’s public exchequer") would just steal more from struggling taxpayers even knowing the atmosphere can't possibly benefit. Thug investors will only 'invest' in 'climate finance' if they're guaranteed a certain profit. Thug politicians are expected to pay back thug investors who elected them with chump taxpayer dollars.

Antarctic global warming trip organizer Prof. Turney helped set up a company to profit from the notion of CO2 terror:
From ChrisTurney.com: "I am an Australian Research Council (ARC) Laureate Fellow and Professor of Climate Change at the University of University of New South Wales where my team and I are focussing our efforts on finding lessons from the past....To do something positive about [man-caused] climate change, I helped set up a carbon refining company called Carbonscape which has developed technology to fix carbon from the atmosphere and make a host of green bi-products, helping reduce greenhouse gas levels."

"Professor Chris Turney from the University of NSW is mounting the largest Australian science expeditions to the Antarctic with an 85-person team to try to answer questions about how climate change in the frozen continent might be already shifting weather patterns in Australia....

12/31/13, “Expedition on the cheap? Did Organizers recklessly, negligently put lives and property at risk?“ Pierre Gosselin, NoTricksZone
"Also the expedition was designed to generate lots of publicity. Along the scientists and ship’s crew were 4 journalists from leading media outlets who would feed news regularly, and later report extensively on the results and findings. All this in turn would bring loads of attention to a region that is said to be threatened by global warming. The AAE’s donation website even states that the expedition’s purpose is to collect data and that the findings are “to reach the public and policy makers as soon as possible“.
But expeditions of this type are expensive and funding is not always easy to come by. Costs can run in the millions as special equipment is needed to handle the extremely harsh conditions of the South Pole. Downplaying the conditions to justify cost-cutting by using lower grade equipment rapidly jeopardizes safety.
Inadequate, bargain-price research vessel
The first error expedition leaders made was under-estimating the prevailing sea ice conditions at Mawson Station, their destination. The scientists seemed to be convinced that Antarctica was a warmer place today than it had been 100 years earlier, and thus perhaps they could expect less sea ice there. This in turn would allow them to charter a lighter, cheaper vessel.
This seems to be the case judging by their choice of seafaring vessel. They chartered a Russian vessel MS Akademik Shokalskiy, an ice-strengthened ship built in Finland in 1982. According to Wikipedia the ship has two passenger decks, with dining rooms, a bar, a library, and a sauna, and accommodates 54 passengers and a crew of up to 30. Though it is ice-reinforced, it is not an ice-breaker. This is a rather surprising selection for an expedition to Antarctica, especially in view that the AAE website itself expected to travel through areas that even icebreakers at times are unable to penetrate, as we are now vividly witnessing."...
