Ship Stuck In (Melting?) Ice

This has happened enough times that either a) God has a sense of humor, or b), He's trying to tell you lefties to get a freakin' clue:
Arctic tours ship MS MALMO with 16 passengers on board got stuck in ice on Sep 3 off Longyearbyen, Svalbard Archipelago, halfway between Norway and North Pole. The ship is on Arctic tour with Climate Change documentary film team, and tourists, concerned with Climate Change and melting Arctic ice. All 16 Climate Change warriors were evacuated by helicopter in challenging conditions, all are safe. 7 crew remains on board, waiting for Coast Guard ship assistance.
a)  God has a sense of humor
b)  He's trying to tell you lefties to get a freakin' clue
c)  all of the above
You know which answer I'm going with!

This happens every single year. They go up there to show the world how blind it has been: WHY DON'T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND IT'S A CRISIS????!!!! The poles are MELTING!!!!

And they all end up stuck in the ice.

I understand the climate change folk thinking it is safe to sail up to the "melting ice." However, I would think the crews of the ships in question would realize that they have to sail within reality and would recognize the danger of ice floes in the Arctic.
