Pardon?
If this were a plot point in a novel I would think it too on the nose and unrealistic. This is the fucking world we live in
The Great Lakes used to be a source of ice for peoples ice boxes. There were railroads built to move it to cities. In my town there was a huge building full of ice and sawdust that would keep it frozen into the summer.
There hasn’t been so much as a skim of ice on the shore this year.
Less than half a percent of ice coverage on new years day this year, while in the 1980s it would be over 10%. We’re so fucked lol.
We don’t even have snow, let alone ice!
We got 15” here in northern MA the other day. We’re expecting a few inches of rain tomorrow and temperatures in the 50’s so I’m expecting to see lots of flooding…
Sweet Tea is a southern delicacy because it was the ultimate rich plantation owner flex. Ships in the winter used to grab icebergs and drag them down to harbors which were then cut up and taken to be stored at the plantations in saw dust. Then they’d need tea from India or China, and sugar cane from the Caribbean. It was literally a global drink. Something only the richest of people would be able to obtain all the resources for to have their house slaves whip up for a visitor on a hot summer afternoon.
Countries with non-renewable resources being scalped by profiteers …who runs out first?!? Stay tuned …

Oh no, the world is now seriously doing what was a funny satirical subplot in the movie Brewster’s Millions.

Billionaire drinking 10000 yr old Mammoth piss? Fine by me.
Meh, let’s leave the mamooth piss where it lies for now. Cocktail waiter could just pee in an ice cube tray for these guys.
basically this.
With near-infinitely more pollutants!
Basically trying to put themselves out of a job.
Gulf states already once towed an entire glacial ice shelf to there from Antarctica for drinking water. This is peanuts in comparison.
