An expedition sailed toward Greenland in a "a 40ft yacht fitted with solar panels and a wind turbine>" Their intent on arrival was to ski across the landmass and "boast of the first carbon-neutral crossing of Greenland." Well, hurricane force storms kicked their ass and "the crew of the Carbon Neutral Expeditions craft had to be rescued 400 miles off Ireland" by a 113,000-ton oil tanker carrying 680,000 barrels of crude.
Ironic idnit?
Yeah I know it's probably old news but I couldn't resist.

First carbon neutral crossing? I would imagine the old vikings sailed and walked there first.
