Remember that The Thing was a monster discovered from an alien landing in Antarctica.
Now Antarctica is biting back.
Here is the NYT warning us about Antarctic ice–like it’s malicious.
1969 New York Times: Princeton scientists worried that Antarctic ice would start a new ice age
Even from the beginning when you consider the urban heat and siting and culling problems–I was anxious to get to a point where satellites would do the record.
Although the temperature reconstructions publicized today (by activist Hansen’s GISS and by HADCRUT CRU of Climategate) imply the global cooling scare of the 1960s-1970s to be an event magically having happened without a cause, without anyone noticing their thermometer readings showed near-continuous rise in temperatures, actually that is not what the data showed back then before the rewriting of CAGW activists.
The beautiful actual history of temperatures and the climate (like plots in a 1976 National Geographic issue I’ve even seen in paper form in a library) can be combined with later data from non-activist real scientist sources to explain all from the LIA to the current “pause” in global warming:

The original thing was played by James Arness, who was a big boy, and every boy kid from my age remembers the opening scene of Gunsmoke at 9 pm sat right after Have Gun Will Travel with Richard Boone playing Pallidin. Being allowed to stay up for Gunsmoke was kinda like graduating to a more adult existence when you didn’t have to go to bed before dark.

The Thing gets around. The John Carpenter version was indeed set in Antartica. The superior “The Thing from Another World” 1951 RKO film was set in the Artic.
