Irony Alert

From the AP (emphasis added):
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.
Sometimes it just writes itself.

Cue the foghorn of sarcasm, please.

I'd comment that there is irony only if you have no idea what "global warming" means - but... what's the point?
