The RRS Sir David Attenborough is a £200 million state of the art ship packed with equipment to measure the impact of global warming at the poles and right across the planet.
The captain is a man from Derry, Matt Neill, who says he progressed from body boarding on Northern Ireland’s north coast to being in charge of one of the most important research ships in the world. "It's great fun," he said, adding that the power and weight of the huge ship as well as experience and satellite technology are all used to ensure it is done safely.
She says the new ship has given experts a much greater opportunity for collaborative science to improve our understanding of climate change.
Good luck with that...
'Fazed', not 'phased'.
Oh piss off rte it’s boring 🥱
It can't 'combat' climate change, all it can do is help measure the extent of the changes taking place
Boaty McBoatface is the name of the RIB not the whole ship.
Where do you apply. While I know that whole climate emergency is a scam, I'm willing to go along with the nonsense for a nice cruise in the poles. Hope we don't get stuck in the ice. Oh sorry, I forgot, Al gore said there would be no more ice after 2016 so we should be ok
How does it combat it fire missiles at the 🌞 🙄
.....🤣🤣... Climate change is just earth being earth.... Geo engineering on the other hand....
Ice still there ...
If it wants to help combat climate change it will remain permanently docked!
Who paid for it?
What powers the boat?
Maybe he could break the ice in Stormont !
Will history repeat itself
