  5. Remember God loves you♥️❤!
    John 3:16
    For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
    Please repent, change your life around and live for Him🙏🙏..
    He is coming back soon😊🥳………

  6. That’s gonna be a huge bill

  7. Its crazy how the world will do all this for 1 , But will abandon millons of others.

  8. Why did this make national news?
    Is he ill from some crazy virus that was frozen for a million years and then was released due to extreme anow melt from a changing climate.
    And now those Australian rescue workers a carriers.
    Then Australia is gonna be ground zero. By the time they thw government tries to quarantine its too late.

  9. Prayers for safe and speedy recovery.

  10. Liars..its the real thing..cmon man
    .we not stupid

  11. Is that where they run this hellish simulation from!?

  12. Still cheaper that going to a doctor in the US.

  13. Why was two helicopters needed?

  14. I need to know what the illness is.. Antarctica 🇦🇶 has a lot of things in the ice we know nothing about.

  15. This is it. The Thing has made it to the mainland

  16. This is why I hate people whom “vacation” there. As few humans as possible should be there, ever. 1:26 thanks, to the friendly ginger kiwi.

  17. That's gotta be a million dollar rescue. Maybe the most expensive ambulance ride ever. Someone call Guiness World Record.

  18. Just ask the aliens for some medical assistance 🤔😉

  19. Yabut, just pack him in ice, jab a flag in the ice next to him, and come back in a few years to revive. That’s what they did with Biden.

  20. It must've been something really serious for them to send a helicopter out that far, I hope he's alright. It'll be nice to have an update on'em

  21. Do not bring him to the mainland. This is how it happens. Haven't you seen The Thing?

  22. Leave him there. He's most likely going to be bringing home an ancient disease because of the melting permafrost.

  23. How much did this cost? Half a million dollars at least.

  24. Pode me dar uma ajuda? Eu quero muito continuar vivendo,ser feliz e ter filhos; mas vejo muitas pessoas dizendo que não dá mais para reverter as mudanças climáticas e que o futuro é caótico e quem defende que ainda dá para reverter as mudanças climáticas é negacionista. Oq eu faço? Isso é verdade? Eu não nego que aquecimento global existe,sei que ele é real,mas acredito que ainda dá para reverter e já vi certas previsões que os cientistas erraram (Nova York estaria submersa em 2019,Amazônia seria um deserto em 2010,não existiria mais neve em 2000 etc.). Fico com medo de não haver mais as atuais cidades costeiras pois elas estarão submersas,de faltar comida,não existir mais frio nem neve,nem vida habitável nas zonas equatoriais/tropicais etc. Já vi notícia de que o buraco na camada de ozônio diminuiu. Já vi uma notícia dizendo que a camada de ozônio não ajuda a diminuir os efeitos das mudanças climáticas. Mas já vi notícias antigas que diziam que as mudanças climáticas eram sim causadas pelo buraco na camada de ozônio. Eu planto árvores,economizo água;vejo os governos,as pessoas,os políticos,os países e os cientistas colaborando para o meio ambiente e ajudando a combater as mudanças climáticas mas ainda assim vejo gente falando que não adianta perder tempo plantando árvores e substituindo carros à combustíveis fósseis por carros elétricos pois as mudanças climáticas são irreversíveis. Por favor,me ajude. Estou nervoso e ninguém me responde,me ajuda. É uma porta fechada com 100 cadeados!
