This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Meanwhile, some asshole is shipping ice from Greenland to Saudi Arabia so some rich assholes can enjoy some ice in their drinks.

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.
