Meanwhile, some asshole is shipping ice from Greenland to Saudi Arabia so some rich assholes can enjoy some ice in their drinks.
I believe it’s Dubai, but your point still stands.
If people people importing the stuff to Saudi Arabia for use in their fancy (non-alcoholic?) drinks accounts for let’s say 0.1% of Greenland’s ice loss, according to my calculations that means they’re each using like 50 ice cubes per hour, 24 hours a day. Those bastards!
I know. But it’s the idea that’s fucked up.

Why did you erase your message? It was a very good bit of info.
Here:
I’m reminded of the little factoid that was going around last year saying that each time someone flies on an average airline from New York to London, the resulting contribution to climate change means less sea ice by a number of square metres that was surprisingly large. Far as I could tell it was probably true.
Saudi Arabia burns a hell of a lot of oil per capita, more than even the USA and Canada. That’s what’s fucked up. And according to that source at least, so do the people of Greenland.
