There’s really no logical argument buttressed by this story, but I think it fits the traditional definition of irony:

An expedition team which set sail from Plymouth on a 5,000-mile carbon emission-free trip to Greenland have been rescued by an oil tanker.
…

The expedition was followed by up to 40 schools across the UK to promote climate change awareness.

But atrocious weather dogged their journey after 27 April, culminating with the rescue on 1 May after the boat was temporarily capsized three times by the wind. In one incident Mr Stoddart hit his head and the wind generator and solar panels were ripped from the yacht.

Wonder if the kiddies were told the evil tanker caused the bad weather…or if there was outrage over the evil tanker stealing food from sharks.
