The point is that it's not irony when
something bad happens to someone who holds a position you to disagree with. This is not irony any more than it would be ironic if a climate change denier got a sunburn. You can be a climate change denier and still believe in the sun, much in the same way as those who accept climate change can still believe in very cold weather.
Irony requires a twist; ie when an effect is realized because of actions taken to avoid it. It would be ironic if they people on the ice breaker didn't believe in ice, and then became trapped in what they didn't believe in. It's ironic when people try to use a weather event as evidence for a climatic argument; because the only thing it proves is the ignorance of the one making the argument.
If those who perpetuated the false narrative of AGW didn't use computer generated polar bears stranded on floating Ice Packs because of melting polar ice you might have a point.
But the fact that we were told polar ice caps were disaplearing at an alarming rate DUE TO AGW and that the Liberal Democrats could save us, (for a price of course ) makes it ironic that explorers looking for "evidence" of global warming became trapped by growing sea ice.
You know, why did they even board that boat ? The Pro AGW crowd never needed objective proof before.
