Assploding Irony: Famed Global Warming Activist Freezes to Death in Antarctica
From Weasel Zippers:And if freezing to death wasn't enough irony, he was attempting to film the "devastation brought on by global warming"...
Famed global warming activist James Schneider and a journalist friend were both found frozen to death on Saturday, about 90 miles from South Pole Station, by the pilot of a ski plane practicing emergency evacuation procedures."I couldn't believe what I was seeing", recounted the pilot, Jimmy Dolittle. "There were two snowmobiles with cargo sleds, a tent, and a bright orange rope that had been laid out on the ice, forming the words, 'HELP-COLD'."
One friend of Prof. Schneider told ecoEnquirer that he had been planning a trip to an ice sheet to film the devastation brought on by global warming. His wife, Linda, said that she had heard him discussing the trip with his environmental activist friends, but she assumed that he was talking about the Greenland ice sheet, a much smaller ice sheet than Antarctica.

That last part confirms that these individuals succumbed to multiple layers of fatal stupid.
The planet does feel a bit cooler now that they have stopped breathing, so I guess it was a kind of heroic stupid.
That's what happens when you book your trip with Luther Blisset travel. Who did this James Sneider write for? Why isn't the article dated? Did Jimmy Dolittle get off course while looking for Shan-Gri-La?
