"The silver lining to Arctic global warming" – Seriously?

Whenever I see a headline like the one quoted above, I always go searching for some hint of irony in the story. Woefully, Londonโ€™s Telegraph doesnโ€™t doย irony.

Rather, Tele contributor Roger Howard asserts with grave conviction that while climate change is โ€œunmistakable,โ€ while its effects are โ€œdepressing and disturbing,โ€ that itโ€™s great to see the Arctic ice melting because now BP – that paragon of responsible environmental stewardship – can get into bed with the Russian oil giant, Rosneft.

Itโ€™s as though the resident of a burning house, madly in search of a fire extinguisher, stops to celebrate instead the discovery of another pack of matches. โ€œOh goody! Climate change is bad, but the โ€˜silver liningโ€™ is that now two of the biggest climate culprits on the planet can work together to make itย worse.โ€

Seriously.
