    This comment from another post of the same article has some good counter points on why this probably isn’t as bad as it sounds.

    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

    The follow up comments are worth reading too.
