Irony:
- an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected.
- the incongruity of this.
- an objectively sardonic style of speech or writing.
MINNEAPOLIS – A North Pole expedition meant to bring attention to global warming was called off after one of the explorers got frostbite. The explorers, Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen, on Saturday called off what was intended to be a 530-mile trek across the Arctic Ocean after Arnesen suffered frostbite in three of her toes, and extreme cold temperatures drained the batteries in some of their electronic equipment.
Irony.
"They were experiencing temperatures that weren't expected with global warming," Atwood said. "But one of the things we see with global warming is unpredictability."
And idiotic statements. It was colder then normal, so it must have been global warming, eh? Absurd.
The thing is, it doesn't matter if there is a "consensus" among scientists, which there really isn't, that global warming is happening and it is because of Mankind. Science is about facts, not consensus. At one time, everyone knew that the Earth was flat. Everyone knew that the Earth was the center of the universe, and everything rotated around it, even the Sun. Everyone knew that sickness was caused by demons, so they used leeches to bleed the demons out. Science showed them otherwise.
Meanwhile, the New York Times tells Internet Al to chill out on the hysterical, non scientific, exagerated and erroneous talk. Heh!
Martin at MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy worries about becoming a one club golfer. Hey, you're hitting them pretty well, Martin.
Senor Kerry joins the global warming cabal by launching a book tour. Yup, cause we all know how much he has helped on this issue in the past. Maybe Teresa wants him out of the house? And, he should talk to his buddy Ted Kennedy, who keeps blocking the Cape Wind Project.
Update: I missed the part that said they were retreating to, get this, Resolute, Canada. You just can't make this stuff up if you tried!
