I put this in the cross post, bit figure it belongs here, too:

While ridiculous, there’s interesting context here.

• Greenland has little to no economy
• The ice is mined from ice that has already broken away from the glacier, thus not reducing any more than nature has already
• Cargo ships bringing frozen food used to leave empty, now that same fuel is used to transport ice back instead of going to waste
• The founder has always dreamed of a sustainable economy for Greenland
• He is conflicted about how his work to do this in a sustainable way is being taken

Lots of gray here.

They’re melting anyway and Greenland is suffering due to climate change, I say good on em. Greenland is so large and is melting so quickly, exporting ice on relatively tiny boats is not going to make any difference. Probably even the entire earth’s navy exporting ice from Greenland wouldn’t make any real difference.

Having said that. The UAE is a steaming pile of dog shit
